أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خِمَيْرَوَيْهِ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، أنبأ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ الثَّقَفِيِّ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ حُرَيْثٍ كَانَ يُجِيزُ شَهَادَتَهُ وَيَقُولُ: " كَذَلِكُ يُفْعَلُ بِالْخَائِنِ وَالْفَاجِرِ ". ⦗٤٢٤⦘ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " وَبِهَذَا نَقُولُ ". قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فِيمَا حُكِيَ عَنْهُ: " لِأَنَّ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَجَازَ شَهَادَةَ الَّذِينَ رَصَدُوا رَجُلًا يَزْنِي، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَتِمُّوا أَرْبَعَةً، قَالَ: وَهَذَا أَشْبَهُ الْقَوْلَيْنِ ".
Muhammad bin Ubaydullah al-Thaqafi narrates that Sayyiduna Amr bin Hurayth (may Allah be pleased with him) used to accept his (the hidden witness's) testimony, and he would say: "This is how one deals with the treacherous and the wicked."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted the testimony of those who watched a man committing zina, but they did not make up four.
