Nu'man b. Bashir reported that his father had donated a slave to him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:
Who is this slave (how have you come to possess it)? Thereupon he (Nu'man b. Bashir) said: My father has donated it to me, whereupon he said: Have all brothers (of yours) been given this gift as given to you? He said: No. Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Then return him.
