اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، أنبأ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ الْقَاضِي، ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، وَعِيسَى بْنُ مِينَا، قَالَا: ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْفُقَهَاءِ الَّذِينَ يُنْتَهَى إِلَى قَوْلِهِمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: " لَا تَكُونُ الْيَمِينُ مَعَ الشَّاهِدِ فِي الطَّلَاقِ وَلَا الْعِتَاقِ وَلَا الْفُرْقَةِ "، وَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يُجِيزُونَ شَهَادَةَ النِّسَاءِ لَا رَجُلَ مَعَهُنَّ، إِلَّا فِيمَا لَا يَرَاهُ إِلَّا النِّسَاءُ، وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: " مَنْ شَهِدَ لَهُ شَاهِدٌ عَلَى قَتْلِ عَبْدِهِ حَلَفَ مَعَ شَاهِدِهِ يَمِينًا وَاحِدَةً، وَاسْتَوْجَبَ قِيمَةَ عَبْدِهِ ".
Abd al-Rahman bin Abi al-Zinad (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (may Allah have mercy on him), and he from the jurists, that judgement is not to be given by an oath and a witness in divorce, 'itaq (freeing a slave) or separation. They did not consider the testimony of women valid when no man was with them, except in what only women see, and they used to say: Whoever has a witness testify for him about the killing of his slave, he swears one oath along with his witness and becomes entitled to the value of his slave.
