Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 23228 — Having witnesses: two men or more

Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to the people of Dayr Tayaya: I have granted safety to your lives, your properties and your places of worship, that they shall not be destroyed or broken, as long as you do not commit an offence or give shelter to a killer. If you commit an offence or give shelter to a killer, then I am free of the covenant of protection towards you. It is obligatory upon you to host a guest for three days. Indeed, we are free of responsibility for any error or lapse of the army. Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid, Sayyiduna Yazid bin Abi Sufyan, Sayyiduna Shurahbil bin Hasanah and Qada'i bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with them) bore witness (became witnesses), and it was written down.
