Bayhaqi Q20633 — One who witnessed something while a disbeliever

فِيمَا رَوَى ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ: أَنَّ الْمُطَّلِبَ بْنَ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ وَيَعْلَى بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُمَا شَهَادَةٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَرُفِعَا إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَجَازَهَا ".
(The evidence for this) is the narration that Ibn Lahi'ah narrated from Yazid bin Abi Habib, from Ata' bin Abi Rabah (may Allah have mercy on him), that: "Al-Muttalib bin Abi Wada'ah and Ya'la bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with them) held a testimony from the time of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah); then in (the era of) Islam they were brought before Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he accepted it (the testimony)."
