Bayhaqi 20393 — Criticism of one whose integrity is established
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، أنبأ حَاجِبُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ مُنِيبٍ، ثنا الْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: كَانَ يُقَالُ: " الْعَدْلُ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ لَمْ يَظْهَرْ مِنْهُ رِيبَةٌ ". قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " وَهَذَا عِنْدَنَا فِيمَنْ ثَبَتَتْ عَدَالَتُهُ فَهُوَ عَلَى أَصْلِ الْعَدَالَةِ مَا لَمْ يَظْهَرْ مِنْهُ رِيبَةٌ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A Muslim is to be counted as upright ('adl) so long as no doubt arises about him.
The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In our view too, so long as uprightness is established, he remains upright until doubt arises.
