أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ قَالَ حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ يَرَى الْحَلِفَ مَعَ الْبَيِّنَةِ. كَذَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى. وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا فِيمَا مَضَى مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا رَآهُ عِنْدَ تَعَارُضِ الْبَيِّنَتَيْنِ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ..

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْعَبْدَوِيُّ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خِمَيْرَوَيْهِ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، ثنا هِشَامٌ، وَمَنْصُورٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا ادَّعَى قِبَلَ رَجُلٍ حَقًّا، وَأَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ الْبَيِّنَةَ، فَاسْتَحْلَفَهُ شُرَيْحٌ، فَكَأَنَّهُ يَأْبَى الْيَمِينَ، فَقَالَ شُرَيْحٌ: " بِئْسَ مَا تُثْنِي عَلَى شُهُودِكَ ".
Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) said that a man claimed a right against someone and also presented a witness. Qadi Shurayh asked him to swear an oath, and it was as if he was refusing the oath. So the judge said: What a poor commendation you are giving your witnesses!
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ، أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، أنبأ أَبُو مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ شُرَيْحًا وَاخْتَصَمَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلَانِ ادَّعَى أَحَدُهُمَا قِبَلَ الْآخَرِ دَابَّةً، وَإِنَّهُ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهَا دَابَّتُهُ أَنْتَجَهَا، فَسَأَلَهُ شُرَيْحٌ الْبَيِّنَةَ، فَجَاءَهُ بِثَمَانِيَةِ رَهْطٍ فَشَهِدُوا لَهُ، فَقَالَ الَّذِي فِيُ يَدِهِ الدَّابَّةُ: اسْتَحْلِفْهُ، فَقَالَ: احْلِفْ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَثْبَتُّ عِنْدَكَ بِثَمَانِيَةٍ مِنَ الشُّهُودِ فَقَالَ شُرَيْحٌ: " لَوْ أَثْبَتَّ عِنْدِي كَذَا وَكَذَا شَاهِدًا مَا قَضَيْتُ لَكَ حَتَّى تَحْلِفَ ".
Abu Malik al-Ashja'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I came to Qadi Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) when two men came with a dispute over a riding animal, (one claiming) that the animal had given birth in his care. Qadi Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) asked for witnesses. He brought a group of eight people as witnesses. The one in whose possession the animal was said: Ask him to swear an oath. So the judge asked him to swear an oath. He said: Look, I have presented eight witnesses! Qadi Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Present as many witnesses as you like; as long as you do not swear the oath yourself, judgement will not be given in your favour.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ، أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ، أنبأ سَعِيدٌ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، أنبأ أَشْعَثُ بْنُ ⦗٤٤٢⦘ سَوَّارٍ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ اسْتَحْلَفَ رَجُلًا مَعَ بَيِّنَةٍ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَحْلِفَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ: " لَا أَقْضِي لَكَ بِمَالٍ لَا تَحْلِفُ عَلَيْهِ ".
Awn bin Abdullah bin Utbah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that he asked a man to swear an oath along with his witness, and he refused to swear. So Abdullah bin Utbah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I will not give judgement for you for wealth until you swear an oath.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَعْرُوفِ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ بِشْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْإِسْفَرَايِينِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْحَذَّاءُ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمَدِينِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدَ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ شُرَيْحٍ، قَالَ: " بَيِّنَةُ الطَّالِبِ عَلَى أَصْلِ حَقِّهِ بَرَاءَةُ أَهْلِ الْمَيِّتِ، إِنْ صَاحِبُهُمْ قَدْ أَدَّى يَمِينَ الطَّالِبِ بِاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ: لَقَدْ مَاتَ وَهَذَا الْحَقُّ عَلَيْهِ، وَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ بِهِ فِي الدَّعْوَى إِذَا قَامَتْ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ أَوْ غَائِبٍ أَوْ طِفْلٍ أَوْ مَجْنُونٍ..
Amir (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Qadi Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) that along with the claimant's witnesses for his original right, the claimant's oath is (required) for the acquittal of the deceased's family, in case their companion had (already) paid it: 'Billahi alladhi la ilaha illa huwa' (By Allah, besides whom there is no god), he died while this right was still owed by him. And we too hold this in a claim when it is brought against a deceased person, an absent person, a child or an insane person.
