أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ، قَالَ: زَعَمَ أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ أَنَّ شَهَادَةَ الْقَاذِفِ لَا تَجُوزُ، فَأَشْهَدُ لَأَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ: أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرَةَ: تُبْ تُقْبَلْ شَهَادَتُكَ أَوْ إِنْ تُبْتَ قُبِلَتْ شَهَادَتُكَ. وَسَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ هَكَذَا مِرَارًا ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: شَكَكْتُ فِيهِ. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: أَشْهَدُ لَأَخْبَرَنِي فُلَانٌ، ثُمَّ سَمَّى رَجُلًا فَذَهَبَ عَلَيَّ حِفْظُ اسْمِهِ، فَسَأَلْتُ قَالَ لِي عُمَرُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ: هُوَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ. وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ لَا يَشُكُّ أَنَّهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَغَيْرُهُ يَرْوِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ.
Sufyan bin ‘Uyaynah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that I heard al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) say: The people of Iraq think that the testimony of one who accuses others (of adultery) is not permissible. And I bear witness that Sa‘id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) informed me that ‘Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him): “Repent, and your testimony will be accepted, or if you repent, your testimony will be accepted.” Imam al-Shafi‘i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Sufyan bin ‘Uyaynah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrate it several times in this way, then I heard him say that he had some doubt about it. Imam al-Shafi‘i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I bear witness that so-and-so informed me—then he mentioned a man whose name I could not remember, so I asked him, and ‘Umar bin Qays informed me that he narrates from Sa‘id bin al-Musayyib. And Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) did not have any doubt regarding Sa‘id bin al-Musayyib. Imam al-Shafi‘i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: And besides him, no one else narrates it from Ibn Shihab except Sa‘id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him), and he narrates from ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).
