Sunan Ibn Majah 2376 (Book 14, Hadith 2) #31728
Equality in Gifts

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised a father to give equal gifts to all of his children.

It was narrated from Nu'man bin Bashir that: his father gave him a gift of a slave, and he came to the Prophet so that he could witness the gift. He said: "Have you given something to all of your children?" He said: "No". He said: "Then take back (your gift)".
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَاهُ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، نَحَلَهُ غُلاَمًا وَأَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ يُشْهِدُهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَارْدُدْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of equality and fairness when it comes to giving gifts. It was narrated from Nu'man bin Bashir that his father gave him a gift of a slave, and he came to the Prophet so that he could witness the gift. The Prophet asked if he had given something to all of his children, and when the father said no, the Prophet advised him to take back his gift. This hadith teaches us that we should be fair and equal when it comes to giving gifts or anything else for that matter. We should not show favoritism towards one child over another as this can lead to feelings of jealousy or resentment among siblings which can have long-term negative effects on their relationship with each other. We should strive for fairness in all aspects of our lives so as not create any unnecessary divisions between people who are close to us.
