قَالَ يَحْيَى : عَنْ مَالِك أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، عَنْ
سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، وَغَيْرِهِ، أَنَّهُمْ سُئِلُوا عَنْ رَجُلٍ جُلِدَ الْحَدَّ، أَتَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُ ؟ فَقَالُوا : " نَعَمْ،
إِذَا ظَهَرَتْ مِنْهُ التَّوْبَةُ "
Sulaiman bin Yasar and others were asked whether a person who has been subjected to the hadd punishment for qadhf, can his testimony be accepted? They replied: Yes, when he repents, and the truthfulness of his repentance becomes evident from his actions.
