وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ثنا الْوَلِيدُ - هُوَ ابْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ثنا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، قَالَ: رُفِعَ إِلِيَّ امْرَأَةٌ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ صَاحِبَتَهَا وَجَأَتْهَا بِإِشْفَى حَتَّى ظَهَرَ مِنْ كَفِّهَا، ⦗٤٢٧⦘ فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَوْ يُعْطَى النَّاسُ بِدَعْوَاهُمْ لَادَّعَى رِجَالٌ دِمَاءَ رِجَالٍ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ، وَلَكِنَّ الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى الطَّالِبِ، وَالْيَمِينَ عَلَى الْمَطْلُوبِ ".
Ibn Abi Mulaykah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A woman was brought to me claiming that her companion had stabbed her with an awl until it came out through her palm. So I asked Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If people were given on the basis of their claims, men would claim the wealth and blood of other men; but the proof is upon the one who makes the demand, and the oath is upon the one from whom it is demanded."
