Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22368 — A man who buys a slave boy and finds
٢٢٣٦٨ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا هشيم عن إسماعيل بن سالم عن الشعبي قال: سمعته يحدث أن رجلًا اشترى من رجل غلامًا، فلما انصرف (١) إذا به قرع، فخاصم صاحبه إلى شريح قال: فقال: إني اشتربت من هذا هذا الغلام وبه قرع، فانظر إلى قرعه، فإن القرع لا يحدث، قال: فقال شريح: لا أجمع أن أكون قاضيًا وشاهدًا، (أره) (٢) غيري، ثم ائتني بهم فليشهدوا لك، وإلا فيمينه باللَّه: ما (باعكه) (٣) وبه هذا القرع.
It is narrated from al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man bought a slave from another man, and when he took him away, the slave turned out to be bald. The man came disputing with the seller to Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) and said: "I bought the slave from this man and he is bald. Look at his baldness; this baldness is nothing new." Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "I cannot both judge and be a witness. Show him to some other people, then come to me with them so that they may testify in your favour; otherwise the seller will swear an oath that he did not sell him with this baldness."
