أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ الْوَرَّاقُ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ الْبَغَوِيُّ قَالَا: ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ثنا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرُّؤَاسِيُّ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثُمَامَةَ، قَالَ: " زَعَمُوا أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ عَرَفَ جَمَلًا لَهُ سُرِقَ، فَخَاصَمَ فِيهِ إِلَى قَاضِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَصَارَتْ عَلَى حُذَيْفَةَ يَمِينٌ فِي الْقَضَاءِ، فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ يَمِينَهُ فَقَالَ: " لَكَ عَشَرَةُ دَرَاهِمَ "، فَأَبَى، فَقَالَ: " لَكَ عِشْرُونَ "، فَأَبَى، فَقَالَ: " لَكَ ثَلَاثُونَ "، فَأَبَى، فَقَالَ: " لَكَ أَرْبَعُونَ "، فَأَبَى، فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: أَتْرُكُ جَمَلِي؟ فَحَلَفَ أَنَّهُ جَمَلُهُ، مَا بَاعَهُ وَلَا وَهَبَهُ ". وَيُذْكَرُ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ أَنَّهُ: فَدَى يَمِينَهُ بِعَشْرَةِ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي خُصُومَةٍ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ مُعَاذِ بْنِ عَفْرَاءَ فِي شَيْءٍ، قَالَ: فَحَلَفَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَتَرَانِي أَنِّي قَدِ اسْتَحْقَقْتُهَا بِيَمِينِي؟ اذْهَبِ الْآنَ، فَهِيَ لَكَ ".
Al-Aswad bin Qays narrates from Hassan bin Thumamah that they claimed that Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) recognised his camel that had been stolen, and the dispute went to the judge of the Muslims. In the ruling, the oath fell upon Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he wanted to pay to be spared the oath. He said: You may have ten dirhams. He refused. Then: twenty dirhams. He refused again. Thirty dirhams. He refused. He said: Forty dirhams. He refused. So Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Shall I give up my camel? Then he swore that it was his camel, and that he had neither sold it nor given it away.
(b) It is mentioned about Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) that he ransomed his oath with ten thousand dirhams.
(c) There was a dispute between Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab and Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Afra' (may Allah be pleased with them both). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took the oath, then said to Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him): Do you think that I have become entitled to it by my oath? Go now, it is yours.
