أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، أنبأ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا، مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ بِدَقُوقَا هَذِهِ، وَلَمْ يَجِدْ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَشْهَدُ عَلَى وَصِيَّتِهِ، فَأَشْهَدَ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ، فَقَدِمَا الْكُوفَةَ فَأَتَيَا الْأَشْعَرِيَّ فَأَخْبَرَاهُ، وَقَدِمَا بِتَرِكَتِهِ وَوَصِيَّتِهِ، فَقَالَ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ: هَذَا أَمْرٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدَ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَحْلَفَهُمَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ بِاللهِ مَا خَانَا وَلَا كَذِبَا وَلَا بَدَّلَا وَلَا كَتَمَا، وَلَا غَيَّرَا، وَإِنَّهَا لَوَصِيَّةُ الرَّجُلِ وَتَرِكَتُهُ، فَأَمْضَى شَهَادَتَهُمَا ". ⦗٢٧٩⦘ هَذَا حَدِيثُ هُشَيْمٍ، وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ مُخْتَصَرٌ.
Zakariyya narrates from al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that death came to a Muslim man at the place called "Daquqa", and there was no Muslim present to witness his will. So he took two People of the Book as witnesses. They came to Kufah, to al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), informed him, and brought his estate and his will. Al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This is a matter that has not occurred since the one that happened in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He made the two of them swear by Allah after the Asr prayer that they had not betrayed, lied, altered, concealed or changed anything, and that this was the man's will and his estate. Thus he enforced their testimony.
