Sunan an-Nasai 3681 (Book 31, Hadith 10) #18295
Fairness in Distributing Wealth

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised Bashir not to be unfair in distributing his wealth among his children.

An-Nu'man bin Bashir Al-Ansari narrated that his mother, the daughter of Rawahah, asked his father to give some of his wealth to her son. He deferred that for a year, then he decided to give it to him. She said: "I will not be pleased until you ask the Messenger of Allah to bear witness". He said: "O Messenger of Allah, the mother of this boy, the daughter of Rawahah, insisted that I give a gift to him". The Messenger of Allah said: "O Bashir, do you have any other children besides this one?" He said: "Yes". The Messenger of Allah said: "Have you given all of them a gift like that which you have given to this son of yours?" He said: "No". The Messenger of Allah said: "Then do not ask me to bear witness, for I will not bear witness to unfairness".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَيَّانَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَنَّ أُمَّهُ ابْنَةَ رَوَاحَةَ، سَأَلَتْ أَبَاهُ بَعْضَ الْمَوْهِبَةِ مِنْ مَالِهِ لاِبْنِهَا فَالْتَوَى بِهَا سَنَةً ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ فَوَهَبَهَا لَهُ فَقَالَتْ لاَ أَرْضَى حَتَّى تُشْهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمَّ هَذَا ابْنَةَ رَوَاحَةَ قَاتَلَتْنِي عَلَى الَّذِي وَهَبْتُ لَهُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ يَا بَشِيرُ أَلَكَ وَلَدٌ سِوَى هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَفَكُلُّهُمْ وَهَبْتَ لَهُمْ مِثْلَ الَّذِي وَهَبْتَ لاِبْنِكَ هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ ‏.‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ فَلاَ تُشْهِدْنِي إِذًا فَإِنِّي لاَ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى جَوْرٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of fairness and justice when it comes to distributing wealth among family members. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked by An-Nu'man bin Bashir's mother to bear witness that her son was given a gift from his father's wealth, but the Prophet refused because he knew that the other children had not been given similar gifts. This shows us that we should always strive for fairness and justice when it comes to sharing our resources with others, especially our family members. We should make sure that everyone is treated equally and fairly, regardless of their age or gender. It is important for us to remember this lesson so that we can create a more just society where everyone has access to what they need and deserve.
