Hadith 1703
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).
Hadith 1704
أَخْبَرَنِي سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ فَلَمَّا قُمْتُ سَأَلْتُ، فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، وَحَضَرَ الْمَجْلِسَ مَعِي: هُوَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قُلْتُ لِسُفْيَانَ: أَشَكَكْتَ حِينَ أَخْبَرَكَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، قَالَ: لَا هُوَ كَمَا قَالَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ دَخَلَنِي الشَّكُّ.
Sufyan bin ‘Uyaynah informed us, he said: Zuhri informed me. Then when we stood up (from the gathering), ‘Umar bin Qais, who was present with me in the gathering, said to me that he is Sa‘id bin al-Musayyib. I asked Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him): “Did you have doubt when Sa‘id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) informed you?” He replied: “No, it is exactly as he said, but he made me doubtful.”
Hadith 1705
وَأَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ أَثِقُ بِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ: أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَمَّا جَلَدَ الثَّلَاثَةَ اسْتَتَابَهُمْ، فَرَجَعَ اثْنَانِ فَقَبِلَ شَهَادَتَهُمَا وَأَبَى أَبُو بَكْرَةَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فَرَدَّ شَهَادَتَهُ. أَخْرَجَ الثَّلَاثَةَ الْأَحَادِيثَ وَقَوْلَ الشَّافِعِيِّ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْيَمِينِ مَعَ الشَّاهِدِ.
It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) that when 'Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) enforced the hadd of qadhf on three men, he made them repent. Two of them repented, so he accepted their testimony, but Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) refused to repent, so his testimony was also rejected.
