Bayhaqi 11456 — Reports on a sick person's acknowledgement in favour

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ قَالَ: " إِنْ أَقَرَّ الْمَرِيضُ لِوَارِثٍ أَوْ لِغَيْرِ وَارِثٍ جَازَ " وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى السَّاجِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: رُوِيَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَعَطَاءٍ وَعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أَنَّ إِقْرَارَهُ جَائِزٌ. قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ: أَحَقُّ مَا يَصْدُقُ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ آخِرُ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَأَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ: وَأَوْصَى رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ أَنْ لَا تَكْشِفَ الْفَزَارِيَّةُ عَمَّا أُغْلِقَ عَلَيْهِ بَابُهَا قَالَ: وَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ: لَا يَجُوزُ إِقْرَارُهُ لِسُوءِ الظَّنِّ بِالْوَرَثَةِ، وَقَدْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظَّنَّ؛ فَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ أَكْذَبُ الْحَدِيثِ "، وَلَا يَحِلُّ مَالُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ إِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ "، وَقَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ اللهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا} [النساء: ٥٨]، فَلَمْ يَخُصَّ وَارِثًا وَلَا غَيْرَهُ.
Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a sick person makes an acknowledgement in favour of his heir or a non-heir, it is valid. Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The time when a man most deserves to be believed is when it is his last day in this world and his first day in the Hereafter. And Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) left instructions that the wealth locked behind the door of his wife al-Fazariyyah was not to be opened. Some people said: His acknowledgement in favour of his heir is not valid, because of suspicion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is false speech." And the wealth of Muslims is not lawful, because of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The sign of the hypocrite is also that when he is entrusted, he betrays." And Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due." [Surah al-Nisa: 58] So He did not single out an heir or anyone else.
