أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ - عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ بَشِيرٍ، أَنَّهُ نَحَلَ ابْنَهُ غُلاَمًا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُشْهِدَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَهُ مِثْلَ ذَا " . قَالَ لاَ . قَالَ " فَارْدُدْهُ " .
Translation
It was narrated from Bashir that he gave his son a male slave as a gift, then came to the Prophet wanting him to witness it. He asked, ‘Did you give a similar gift to all your children?’ Bashir said, ‘No.’ He replied, ‘Then take it back.’
