Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2192 — An oath along with one witness
اُردوEn
وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزِّنَادِ قَالَ : كُنْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بِالْكُوفَةِ فَكَانَ يَقْضِي بِالْيَمِينِ مَعَ الشَّاهِدِ ، فَأَنْكَرَ عَلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ ، فَكَتَبَ بِهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، فَكَتَبَ أَنْ أَقْضِيَ بِالْيَمِينِ مَعَ الشَّاهِدِ فَقَامَ شَيْخٌ مِنْ كُبَرَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ : شَهِدْتُ شُرَيْحًا يَقْضِي بِالْيَمِينِ مَعَ الشَّاهِدِ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ .
It is narrated from Musaddad (may Allah have mercy on him) through the chain of Yahya, Ibn Ajlan and Abu al-Zinad (may Allah have mercy on him) that Abu al-Zinad said: "I was with Abd al-Hamid in Kufah, and he used to judge by having (the claimant) take an oath along with one witness. Some people of Kufah objected to this, so Abd al-Hamid wrote about this issue to the Commander of the Believers Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him). The Commander of the Believers wrote to him: 'That I should judge by having an oath taken along with one witness.' Then one of the shaykhs from among their elders stood up and said: 'I saw Shurayh judging by an oath along with one witness in this very mosque.'"
