أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، أَنْبَأَ الرَّبِيعُ قَالَ: قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَعْنَى مَا أَرَادَ مِنْ هَذَا، وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَنْ يَتَأَوَّلُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ عَلَى: مِنْ غَيْرِ قَبِيلِكُمْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَيَحْتَجُّ فِيهَا بِقَوْلِ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {تَحْبِسُونَهُمَا مِنْ بَعْدِ الصَّلَاةِ فَيُقْسِمَانِ بِاللهِ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ لَا نَشْتَرِي بِهِ ثَمَنًا} [المائدة: ١٠٦] وَالصَّلَاةُ الْمُوَقَّتَةُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَبِقَولِ اللهِ: {وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَى} [المائدة: ١٠٦] وَإِنَّمَا الْقَرَابَةُ ⦗٢٧٦⦘ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، أَوْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْأَوْثَانِ، لَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ، وَيَقُولُ اللهُ: {وَلَا نَكْتُمُ شَهَادَةَ اللهِ إِنَّا إِذًا لِمَنَ الْآثِمِينَ} [المائدة: ١٠٦] وَإِنَّمَا يَتَأَثَّمُ مِنْ كِتْمَانِ الشَّهَادَةِ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ، لَا أَهْلُ الذِّمَّةِ "..
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says regarding this verse, and Allah knows best what He meant by it: I have heard someone who interprets this verse as meaning (two others) from other than your tribe among the Muslims. He takes as evidence the saying of Allah: 'You shall detain them both after the prayer, and they shall swear by Allah, if you are in doubt: We will not sell it for a price' [Surah al-Ma'idah: 106], and the prayer at fixed times is for the Muslims; and the saying of Allah: 'even if he be a near relative' [Surah al-Ma'idah: 106], and kinship existed only among the Arab Muslims who were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or between them and the idol-worshippers, not between them and the dhimmis. And Allah says: 'And we will not conceal the testimony of Allah, for then we would indeed be among the sinners.' [Surah al-Ma'idah: 106] It is only Muslims who feel sinful about concealing testimony for Muslims, not the dhimmis.
