Bayhaqi 20611 — Those who rejected the testimony of children and those

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، بِمَكَّةَ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ثَوْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، قَالَ: أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَهَادَةِ الصِّبْيَانِ، فَقَالَ: " قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {مِمَّنْ تَرْضَوْنَ مِنَ الشُّهَدَاءِ} [البقرة: ٢٨٢] وَلَيْسُوا مِمَّنْ نَرْضَى "، قَالَ: فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَسْأَلُهُ، فَقَالَ: " بِالْحَرِيِّ إِنْ سُئِلُوا أَنْ يَصْدُقُوا "، قَالَ: فَمَا رَأَيْتُ الْقَضَاءَ إِلَّا عَلَى مَا قَالَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ".
Ibn Jurayj narrates from Abdullah bin Abi Mulaykah that he said: I sent a message to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) to ask about the testimony of children. He replied that Allah Almighty says: 'from among those whom you approve of as witnesses' [Surah al-Baqarah: 282]. These are not among those whom we approve of.
I sent a message to Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him the same question. He said: "It is likely that if they are asked, they will tell the truth." He said: I have not seen judgment given except according to what Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said.
