عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ خَائِنٍ وَلَا خَائِنَةٍ وَلَا ذِي غِمْرٍ عَلَى أَخِيهِ وَلَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ الْقَانِعِ لِأَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ وَيَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُ لِغَيْرِهِمْ وَالْقَانِعُ الَّذِي يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ وَفِي لَفْظٍ وَرَدَّ شَهَادَةَ الْقَانِعِ الْخَادِمِ التَّابِعِ لِأَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ وَأَجَازَهَا لِغَيْرِهِمْ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The testimony of a deceitful man or woman is not permissible, nor of one who harbors malice in his heart against his brother. Similarly, the testimony of a person who is a servant and subordinate of a family is also not permissible. Apart from these, the testimony of all other individuals is permissible. By "al-qani‘" is meant the person upon whom the household spends. In another narration: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) rejected the testimony of the one who is a servant and subordinate of a household in favor of the household, and declared the testimony of the rest of the individuals permissible.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The case of the treacherous person is clear; by rancor is meant those individuals between whom there is an apparent relationship of enmity. Most often, it happens that a servant or subordinate of a family cannot maintain the scale of justice and fairness regarding that family.
