Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 31, Hadith 12

It was narrated that ‘Amir said: “I was told that Bashir bin Sa’d came to the Messenger of Allah and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, my wife ‘Amrah bint Rawahah told me to give a gift to her son Nu’man, and she told me to ask you to bear witness to that.’ The Prophet said: ‘Do you have any other children?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Have you given them something like that which you have given to this one?’ He said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Then do not ask me to bear witness to unfairness.'”

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّ بَشِيرَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي عَمْرَةَ بِنْتَ رَوَاحَةَ أَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَلَى ابْنِهَا نُعْمَانَ بِصَدَقَةٍ وَأَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أُشْهِدَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ هَلْ لَكَ بَنُونَ سِوَاهُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ فَأَعْطَيْتَهُمْ مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَ لِهَذَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ فَلاَ تُشْهِدْنِي عَلَى جَوْرٍ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 31, Hadith 12

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. The Sunan an-Nasa’i is a foundational text, compiled by the expert traditionist Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i during the 9th century. It is consistently listed as one of the six most vital collections of hadith in Sunni Islamic scholarship. Within its pages are found over 5,700 individual narrations that provide deep insight into the life and rulings of the Prophet Muhammad. The defining characteristic of al-Nasa’i’s work is his application of an exceptionally rigorous and critical methodology for verifying each report. By consciously omitting hadiths he considered weak or fabricated, he produced a volume celebrated for its emphasis on authenticity and its status as a highly reliable source.
