أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الطَّرَائِفِيُّ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِ: " {كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ} [النساء: ١٣٥]، قَالَ: " أَوْ آبَائِكُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَائِكُمْ وَلَا تُحَابُوا غَنِيًّا لِغِنَاهُ، وَلَا تَرْحَمُوا مِسْكِينًا لِمَسْكَنَتِهِ، وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ: {إِنْ يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللهُ أَوْلَى بِهِمَا} [النساء: ١٣٥] وَفِي قَوْلِهِ: {فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوَى أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا} [النساء: ١٣٥] فَتَذَرُوا الْحَقَّ فَتَجُورُوا ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "Testify for Allah with justice, even if it is against yourselves or against your parents and close relatives" [Surah al-Nisa': 135], says: Even if it is against your fathers or your sons; and do not favour a rich man because of his wealth, nor show mercy to a poor man because of his poverty (so that you fail to give true testimony). The saying of Allah Almighty: "If he is rich or poor, Allah is closer to them both (and more caring of them)" [Surah al-Nisa': 135]. The saying of Allah Almighty: "So do not follow your desires, lest you fail to act justly" [Surah al-Nisa': 135], meaning: do not abandon the truth and commit injustice.
