Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 31, Hadith 5

It was narrated from An-Nu’man bin Bashir that his father gave him a present, and his mother said: “Ask the Prophet to bear witness to what you have given to my son.” So he came to the Prophet and told him about that, and the Prophet did not want to bear witness to it.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، نَحَلَهُ نُحْلاً فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ أَشْهِدِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى مَا نَحَلْتَ ابْنِي ‏.‏ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَكَرِهَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَشْهَدَ لَهُ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 31, Hadith 5

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Compiled by the renowned Islamic scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i during the 9th century, the Sunan an-Nasa’i is a pillar of Sunni hadith literature. It is universally recognized as one of the six most important collections, the Kutub al-Sittah. The text is comprised of more than 5,700 individual narrations that meticulously document the traditions and practices of the Prophet Muhammad. What sets al-Nasa’i’s work apart is his exceptionally rigorous critical approach to evaluating the chains of narration. His deliberate exclusion of unreliable reports has led scholars throughout history to regard the Sunan as one of the most trustworthy and authoritative sources for authentic hadith.
