Chapter: Judgement on the basis of oath and one witness.
Hadith 3611
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْإِسْكَنْدَرَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ ، بِإِسْنَادِ أَبِي مُصْعَبٍ وَمَعْنَاهُ ، قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ : فَلَقِيتُ سُهَيْلًا فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا أَعْرِفُهُ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : إِنَّ رَبِيعَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ عَنْكَ ، قَالَ : فَإِنْ كَانَ رَبِيعَةُ أَخْبَرَكَ عَنِّي فَحَدِّثْ بِهِ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ عَنِّي .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Rabiah through the chain of Abu Musab and to the same effect. Sulaiman said: I then met Suhail and asked him about this tradition. He said: I do not know it. I said to him: Rabiah transmitted it to me from you. He said: If Rabiah transmitted it to you from me, then retransmit it from Rabiah on my authority.
