Equality in Gifts

SUMMARY: A father gave a slave to one of his sons, but the Prophet ﷺ advised him to give similar gifts to all of his sons.

Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir: That his father gave a slave to a son of his. So he went to the Prophet to have him witness it. He said: 'Have you given a gift similar to this one to all of your sons?' He replied: 'No'. So he said: 'Then take him back'."
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ الْمَعْنَى الْوَاحِدُ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، يُحَدِّثَانِ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، نَحَلَ ابْنًا لَهُ غُلاَمًا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ يُشْهِدُهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَهُ مِثْلَ مَا نَحَلْتَ هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَارْدُدْهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ التَّسْوِيَةَ بَيْنَ الْوَلَدِ حَتَّى قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُسَوِّي بَيْنَ وَلَدِهِ حَتَّى فِي الْقُبْلَةِ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُسَوِّي بَيْنَ وَلَدِهِ فِي النُّحْلِ وَالْعَطِيَّةِ الذَّكَرُ وَالأُنْثَى سَوَاءٌ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمُ التَّسْوِيَةُ بَيْنَ الْوَلَدِ أَنْ يُعْطَى الذَّكَرُ مِثْلَ حَظِّ الأُنْثَيَيْنِ مِثْلَ قِسْمَةِ الْمِيرَاثِ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of equality among children. It is narrated by An-Nu'man bin Bashir that his father gave a slave as a gift to one of his sons. When he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) for witnessing it, he asked if he had given similar gifts to all of his sons or not. The Prophet's response was that if he hadn't given similar gifts then he should take back the gift from this son and give it equally among all of them. This hadith teaches us that we should be fair and equal when giving out gifts or rewards among our children, so as not to create any feelings of jealousy or envy between them. We should also remember that Allah loves those who are just and equitable in their dealings with others, especially with their own family members.
