وَفِي لَفْظٍ: «فَانْطَلَقَ أَبِي إِلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُشْهِدَهُ عَلَى صَدَقَتِي. فَقَالَ: «أَفَعَلْتَ هَذَا بِوَلَدِكَ كُلِّهِمْ«?. قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: «اِتَّقُوا اَللَّهَ، وَاعْدِلُوا بَيْنَ أَوْلَادِكُمْ «فَرَجَعَ أَبِي، فَرَدَّ تِلْكَ اَلصَّدَقَةَ»
My father went then to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) to call him as a witness to my Sadaqah (i.e. gift) and he asked, “Have you done the same with all your children?” He replied, “No.” He said, “Fear Allah and treat your children equally.” My father then returned and took back that gift.
