Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 23171 — Testimony of a brother
٢٣١٧١ - [حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن فضيل عن عطاء بن أبي رباح، قال: كان بين رجلين من الحي خصومة، فشهد لأحدهما أخوه لأبيه وأمه عند شريح، فقال (للرجل) (١): أنت أخوه؟ (قال) (٢): فهل لك من الذي تشهد عليه شئ؟ قال: لا، (فقال) (٣) لخصمه: فبأي شيء أرد شهادته.
It is narrated from Ata bin Abi Rabah (may Allah have mercy on him) that a dispute arose between two men of the neighbourhood. The full brother of one of them testified for him before Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him). Shurayh said to the man: Are you his brother? Then he asked: Do you have any claim against the person you are testifying against? He said: No. He then said to the opponent: So on what grounds should I reject his testimony?
