Hadith 411

وَأَخْبَرَنِي وَأَخْبَرَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ ، فِي الْقَاذِفِ إِذَا تَابَ قَالَ : تُقْبَلُ شَهَادَتُهُ وَقَالَ : كُلُّنَا نَقُولُهُ : عَطَاءٌ وَطَاوُسٌ وَمُجَاهِدٌ . أَخْبَرَنَا الطَّحَاوِيُّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْمُزَنِيَّ يَقُولُ : قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ : " لَيْسَ لِلْقَاضِي أَنْ يُجْبِرَ الرَّجُلَ عَلَى أَخْذِ الْوَدِيعَةِ " .
Ibn Abi Najih (may Allah have mercy on him) says that if the slanderer (the one who makes an accusation) repents, then his testimony will be accepted in subsequent cases. The same is said by Ata, Tawus, and Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on them). Imam Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the judge of the time cannot force anyone to keep something as a trust.
