موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الأقضيةBook: On the Explanation of Judges
بَابُ الْقَضَاءِ بِالْيَمِينِ مَعَ الشَّاهِدِRuling by oath along with a witness
Hadith 1421B5
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَمِنْ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا الرَّجُلُ يَفْتَرِي عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الْحُرِّ، فَيَقَعُ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدُّ. فَيَأْتِي رَجُلٌ وَامْرَأَتَانِ فَيَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ الَّذِي افْتُرِيَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدٌ مَمْلُوكٌ. فَيَضَعُ ذَلِكَ الْحَدَّ عَنِ الْمُفْتَرِي بَعْدَ أَنْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ. وَشَهَادَةُ النِّسَاءِ لَا تَجُوزُ فِي الْفِرْيَةِ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Similarly, if a person accuses another of slander, then a man or two women testify that the person who was accused is a slave, the hadd (punishment) will be dropped from the accuser, even though in the case of slander, the testimony of women is not valid.
