and al-Ṭaḥāwī used it as evidence for the statement of Abū Yūsuf that he equates in giving between females and males; contrary to Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan who said: rather, he allocates it according to the shares of inheritance, with the male receiving the portion of two females. Al-Ṭaḥāwī refuted him with what he narrated through a sound isnād from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said, "Make equal among your children in giving as you love that they make equal among you in kindness." It was also narrated by al-Bayhaqī (6/178), Muslim (5/66-67) similarly, and Ibn Ḥibbān (5082). Abū Jaʿfar said, "It is evidence that he wanted from the father for his child what he wants from his child for him, and what he wants from the female in kindness is like what he wants from the male, so the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) wanted from him for them in giving to the female like what he wanted for the male." Then, the justice mentioned between the children has been a matter of differing opinions regarding its ruling; some say it is obligatory, and some say it is recommended. This is the view of the Ḥanafīs, and al-Ṭaḥāwī supported it. The correct view is that it is obligatory, as detailed by al-Ḥāfiẓ in "al-Fatḥ"; those who wish for a detailed discussion should refer to it. It suffices as evidence that the narrator of the ḥadīth, al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu), said in some of the authentic paths from him, "My father returned and took back that charity." It was narrated by the two Shaykhs, and it is referenced in "al-Irwāʾ" (6/41). The ḥadīth of the chapter has been previously sourced in this "series" (2883) and (2994), and what is here includes additional content.
