أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ أَبُو حَامِدِ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، ثنا أَبُو الْأَزْهَرِ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ الْأَفْطَسِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ الرَّجُلُ يُشْهِدُهُ قَالَ: " أَشْهِدْ غَيْرِي، فَإِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَدْ فَسَّقُونِي ". وَهَذَا، إِنْ صَحَّ، فَلِأَنَّهُ امْتَنَعَ مِنْ أَنْ يَتُوبَ مِنْ قَذْفِهِ وَأَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَوْ كَانَ قَدْ تَابَ مِنْهُ لَمَا أَلْزَمُوهُ اسْمَ الْفِسْقِ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَبَلَغَنِي عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُجِيزُ شَهَادَةَ الْقَاذِفِ إِذَا تَابَ ".
Sa'id bin Asim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When someone came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) to make him a witness, he would say: "Take someone other than me as a witness, for the Muslims have declared me a sinner." This, if authentic, is because he did not repent from it after the accusation but persisted in it; had he repented, the charge of being a sinner would have been removed from him, and Allah knows best.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) states that the testimony of the slanderer is accepted after repentance.
