Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَيَّانَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ سَأَلَتْ أُمِّي أَبِي بَعْضَ الْمَوْهِبَةِ فَوَهَبَهَا لِي فَقَالَتْ لاَ أَرْضَى حَتَّى أُشْهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ أَبِي بِيَدِي وَأَنَا غُلاَمٌ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمَّ هَذَا ابْنَةَ رَوَاحَةَ طَلَبَتْ مِنِّي بَعْضَ الْمَوْهِبَةِ وَقَدْ أَعْجَبَهَا أَنْ أُشْهِدَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَا بَشِيرُ أَلَكَ ابْنٌ غَيْرُ هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَوَهَبْتَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَا وَهَبْتَ لِهَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَلاَ تُشْهِدْنِي إِذًا فَإِنِّي لاَ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى جَوْرٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

It was narrated from An-Nu'man that his mother asked his father for a gift, and he gave it to him. She said, ‘I will not be satisfied until you ask the Messenger of Allah to witness it.’ His father took him by the hand while he was still a boy and went to the Messenger of Allah. He said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, this boy’s mother, the daughter of Rawahah, asked me for a gift and would like you to witness it.’ He asked, ‘Bashir, do you have another child besides this one?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He asked, ‘Have you given that child a gift like this one?’ He said, ‘No.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Then do not ask me to witness it, for I will not bear witness to injustice.’
