أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خِمَيْرَوَيْهِ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، وَهُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُجَيٍّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُجِيزُ شَهَادَةَ الْقَابِلَةِ زَادَ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ: " وَحْدَهَا ". هَذَا لَا يَصِحُّ، جَابِرٌ الْجُعْفِيُّ مَتْرُوكٌ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُجَيٍّ فِيهِ نَظَرٌ ⦗٢٥٥⦘ وَرَوَاهُ سُوَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ، عَنْ غَيْلَانَ بْنِ جَامِعٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْوَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَذَكَرَهُ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ: لَوْ صَحَّتْ شَهَادَةُ الْقَابِلَةِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لَقُلْنَا بِهِ، وَلَكِنْ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ خَلَلٌ، قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: لَوْ ثَبَتَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ صِرْنَا إِلَيْهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَثْبُتُ عِنْدَكُمْ، وَلَا عِنْدَنَا عَنْهُ ".
Abdullah bin Nujayy narrates from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to accept the testimony of the midwife; Abu Awanah added: alone.
This is not sound: Jabir al-Ju'fi is matruk (abandoned), and Abdullah bin Nujayy is questionable. Suwayd bin Abd al-Aziz, who is da'if (weak), also narrated it from Ghaylan bin Jami', from Ata bin Abi Marwan, from his father, from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Ishaq al-Hanzali said: If the testimony of the midwife were authentic from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), we would hold it, but there is a defect in its chain.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is not established from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him); otherwise we would act on it.
