Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ وَكَانَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى الْكُوفَةِ نَحَلَنِي أَبِي غُلَامًا فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأُشْهِدَهُ فَقَالَ أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ نَحَلْتَ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَإِنِّي لَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَى جَوْرٍ.
English Translation
Sufyan told us: Mujalid told us, he said: I heard al-Sha'bi say: I heard al-Nu'man b. Bashir say - and he was governor of Kufa - My father gave me a slave boy as a gift, so I went to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to have him witness it. He said, "Have you given all your children a gift?" He said, "No." He said, "Then I will not witness an injustice."
