Sahih Muslim 1623a (Book 24, Hadith 15) #11289
Treating Children Equally

SUMMARY: A father donated a slave to his son, but the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised him to take it back and treat all of his sons equally.

Nu'man b. Bashir reported that his father brought him to Allah's Messenger and said: I have donated this slave of mine to my son. Allah's Messenger said: Have you donated to every one of your sons (a slave) like this? He said: #Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) said: Then take him back.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ، الرَّحْمَنِ وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، يُحَدِّثَانِهِ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ أَبَاهُ أَتَى بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي نَحَلْتُ ابْنِي هَذَا غُلاَمًا كَانَ لِي ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَهُ مِثْلَ هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لاَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ فَارْجِعْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about treating children equally and fairly. It tells us that we should not show favoritism towards one child over another when it comes to giving gifts or rewards. In this particular case, a father wanted to give a slave he owned as a gift to one of his sons. However, the Prophet Muhammad advised him against this and told him that he should give an equal gift or reward to each of his sons instead of just one. This teaches us that we should always strive for fairness and equality when dealing with our children so that no one feels left out or neglected. We can also learn from this hadith that even though slavery was allowed at the time of the Prophet Muhammad's life, he still advocated for fairness and equality among people regardless of their social status or economic standing in society.
