من كان يستحلف الرجل مع (بينته)
Those who used to require an oath from a man in addition to his evidence
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 24574 — Those who used to require an oath
٢٤٥٧٤ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن أبي زائدة عن أشعث عن محمد قال: أقام رجل على رجل بينته، فقال خصمه: يمينه أحب إليَّ من شهوده، (فاستحلفه) (١) (رجل) (٢) فنكل فقال شريح: بئس ما (أثنيت) (٣) على شهودك، (ورد) (٤) شهادتهم.
It is narrated from Muhammad (Ibn Sirin) (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man brought witnesses against another man. His opponent said: His oath is dearer to me than his testimony. Then an oath was demanded of him, and he refused. Shurayh said: What you have said in praise of your testimony is very bad; and their testimony is rejected.
