The questioner:
May Allah send you well, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the wisdom behind the Companion requesting the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) testimony regarding the gift of his son?
The Shaykh:
In what respect?
The questioner:
Regarding the gift of his son.
The Shaykh:
Because his mother was 'Umarah bint Rawhah. It was al-Nu'man ibn Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him), and his father gave him a gift. So his mother, 'Umarah bint Rawhah, the sister of 'Abdullah ibn Rawhah (may Allah be pleased with her), said: It is necessary that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) testify on her behalf. So when he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and this was his best deed, this was his best deed for them, he said: Did you give every one of your children a gift like this? He said: No. He said: I will not testify to injustice. Fear Allah and be just among your children. Yes, indeed. So Allah saved him by the blessing of this Companion. Yes.
