Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةُ بَشِيرٍ انْحَلِ ابْنِي غُلاَمَكَ وَأَشْهِدْ لِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ إِنَّ ابْنَةَ فُلاَنٍ سَأَلَتْنِي أَنْ أَنْحَلَ ابْنَهَا غُلاَمِي
وَقَالَتْ أَشْهِدْ لِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " أَلَهُ إِخْوَةٌ " . قَالَ نَعَمْ . قَالَ " أَفَكُلَّهُمْ أَعْطَيْتَ مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ " . قَالَ لاَ . قَالَ " فَلَيْسَ يَصْلُحُ هَذَا . وَإِنِّي لاَ أَشْهَدُ إِلاَّ عَلَى حَقٍّ " .
