to it. So, my father went to Allah’s Apostle and said, ‘I have given a gift to my son from ‘Amra bint
Rawaha, but she ordered me to make you as a witness to it, O Allah’s Apostle!’ Allah’s Apostle asked,
‘Have you given (the like of it) to everyone of your sons?’ He replied in the negative. Allah’s Apostle
said, ‘Be afraid of Allah, and be just to your children.’ My father then returned and took back his gift.”

allowed him. He came out leaning on two men while his feet were dragging on the ground. He was
walking between Al-‘Abbas and another man.” ‘Ubaidullah said, “When I informed Ibn ‘Abbas of
