وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ اَلْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ لِي عَلَى نَخْلٍ نَحَلْتُهَا اِبْنِي قَالَ "مَا لَكَ وَلَدٌ سِوَاهُ" قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ "فَنَحَلْتَهُمْ كَمَا نَحَلْتَهُ" قَالَ لاَ قَالَ "فَإِنَّا مَعَاشِرَ اَلْأَنْبِيَاءِ لاَ نَشْهَدُ عَلَى اَلْجَنَفِ " ".

In a narration from Abdullah ibn Maymun from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) from his father Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s), it is stated: "A man from the Ansar came to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), I wish for you to bear witness for me regarding a palm grove that I have gifted to my son.' The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) asked: 'Do you have any children besides him?' He replied: 'Yes.' The Prophet (saws) then asked: 'Did you gift them as you gifted him?' He said: 'No.' The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: 'Indeed, we, the community of Prophets, do not bear witness to bias (janaf).'"
