قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَلا يَأْبَ الشُّهَدَاءُ إِذَا مَا دُعُوا}
His saying, Exalted is He: {And let not the witnesses refuse when they are called.}
Sunan Sa'id bin Mansur 458 — His saying, Exalted is He: {And let not
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، قَالَ: سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ عَطَاءَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ، عَنْ قَوْلِهِ: { وَلا يَأْبَ الشُّهَدَاءُ إِذَا مَا دُعُوا } قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْتَشْهَدُوا، أَوْ بَعْدَ مَا اسْتُشْهِدُوا ؟ قَالَ: لَا، بَلْ بَعْدَ مَا شَهِدُوا .
Muhammad bin Thabit Al-Abdi, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates that a man asked Ata bin Abi Rabah, may Allah have mercy on him, and I was present there. He inquired: What is the meaning of Allah the Exalted’s statement: ﴿وَلَا يَأْبَ الشُّهَدَاءُ إِذَا مَا دُعُوا﴾ “And the witnesses should not refuse when they are called”? Is this command before they are called to testify, or after they have already given testimony? Ata, may Allah have mercy on him, replied: “No, rather, it is after they have given testimony; after that, they should not refuse.”
