Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 24899 — A man against whom a claim is made

Shurayh says, concerning a person from whom someone demands his right and then the one from whom it is demanded dies: he said that the claimant's evidence is upon the original right, and proof of clearance is upon the family of the deceased, that their companion had already been cleared; or else the claimant takes an oath that he died in a state where his right was still due from the deceased.
