Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30750 — A man testified against by two
٣٠٧٥٠ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا حفص بن غياث عن ابن جريج (عن ⦗٥١٣⦘ عطاء) (١) قال: أتي علي برجل وشهد عليه رجلان أنه سرق فأخذ (في) (٢) شيء من أمور الناس، وتهدد شهود الزور، (قال: لا) (٣) (أوتى) (٤) بشاهد زور إلا فعلت به كذا وكذا، قال: ثم طلب الشاهدين فلم يجدهما، فخلى سبيله (٥).
Ata said: A man was brought to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and two men testified against him that he had stolen. Then he became occupied with the affair of one of the people, and he sternly warned against false witnesses and said: No false witness shall be brought to me but that I will deal with him in such and such a way. The narrator said: Then he summoned those two witnesses but did not find them, so he let the man go free.
