Sunan an-Nasai 3673 (Book 31, Hadith 2) #18287
Treating Children Equally

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised a father to treat all of his children equally and not to give one child more than the others.

It was narrated from An-Nu'man bin Bashir that his father brought him to the Messenger of Allah and said: "I have given my son a slave of mine as a present". The Messenger of Allah said: "Have you given a present to all of your children?" He said: "No". The Messenger of Allah said: "Then take (your present) back".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، يُحَدِّثَانِهِ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، أَتَى بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي نَحَلْتُ ابْنِي غُلاَمًا كَانَ لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ ‏.‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ فَارْجِعْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about treating children equally and fairly. It was narrated from An-Nu'man bin Bashir that his father brought him to the Messenger of Allah and said he had given his son a slave as a present. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asked if he had given presents to all of his children or just one, implying that it would be unfair if only one child received something special while the others did not. He then advised the father to take back the gift so that all of his children could receive an equal amount of gifts. This teaches us that it is important for parents to treat their children fairly and equally in order for them to feel loved and appreciated by their parents. It also shows us how important it is for parents to set an example for their kids by being fair in their dealings with them so they can learn how fairness works in real life situations.

The values taught in this hadith are justice, fairness, equality, and parental responsibility towards their kids.
