Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us, saying: I recited to Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Humayd ibn Abd al-Rahman, and from Muhammad ibn al-Nu'man ibn Bashir, both relating to him from al-Nu'man ibn Bashir, that he said: His father brought him to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said, "I have given this son of mine a slave that I owned." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Have you given every one of your children a gift like this?" He said, "No." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Then take it back."
