Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The wife of Bashir said, “Give my son your slave and have the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) witness it.” Bashir came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said, “The daughter of so-and-so asked me to give her son my slave and said, ‘Have the Messenger of Allah witness it.’” He said, “Does he have siblings?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Did you give each of them the same as you gave him?” He said, “No.” He said, “This is not appropriate, and I only witness what is just.” [Narrated by Muslim]
In another narration by Muslim: “Have someone else witness this.”

(1) The statement: Have someone else witness this—An-Nawawi said: It indicates that one should equalize among children in gifts. If some are favored or given to some and not others, Shafi’i, Malik, and Abu Hanifah said it is disliked but not prohibited, and the gift is valid. Tawus, Urwah, Mujahid, Ath-Thawri, Ahmad, Ishaq, and Dawud said it is prohibited. They cited the narration, “I do not witness injustice,” and other wordings of the narration. Shafi’i and his supporters cited, Have someone else witness this, saying: If it were prohibited or invalid, he would not have said this.

(۱)قوله: فأشهد على هذا غيري وقال النووي: وفيه أنه ينبغي أن يسوي بين أولاده في الهبة، فلو فضل بعضهم أو وهب لبعضهم دون بعض، فمذهب الشافعي ومالك وأبي حنيفة أنه مكروه، وليس بحرام، والهبة صحيحة. وقال طاوس وعروة ومجاهد والثوري وأحمد وإسحاق وداود: هو حرام. واحتجوابرواية لا أشهد على جور وبغيرها من ألفاظ الحديث. واحتج الشافعي وموافقوه بقوله : فأشهد على هذا غيري ، قالوا : ولو كان حراما أو باطلا لما قال هذا الكلام.

ف: اس حدیث شریف سے معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ عطیہ اور ہبہ میں اپنی اولاد میں یکسانیت قائم رکھنا چاہئے اور کسی کو کسی پر ترجیح دیں تو یہ مکروہ ہے حرام نہیں ہے اور ہبہ درست ہوگا ورنہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم بشیر بن سعد رضی اللہ عنہ سے یہ نہ فرماتے کہ کسی دوسرے کو اس معاملہ میں تم گواہ بنالو۔ شرح مسلم۔
