Hadith 2780

The Statement of Allāh عز وجل: "O you who believe! When death approaches any of you, and you make a bequest, (then take) the testimony of two just men of your own folk or two others from outside... (up to)... Allāh guides not the people who are Al-Fasiqūn (the rebellious and disobedient)." (V.5:106-108)

2780. Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما said, "A man from the tribe of Banī Sahm went out in the company of Tamīm Ad-Dārī and 'Adī bin Baddār. The man of Banī Sahm died in a land where there was no Muslim. When Tamīm and 'Adī returned conveying the property of the deceased, they claimed that they had lost a silver bowl with gold engraving. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ made them take an oath (to confirm their claim), and then the bowl was found in Makkah with some people who claimed that they had bought it from Tamīm and 'Adī. Then two witnesses from the relatives of the deceased got up and swore that their witnesses were more valid than the witnesses of 'Adī and Tamīm, and that the bowl belonged to their deceased fellow. So, this Verse was revealed in connection with this case; 'O you who believe! When death approaches any of you...' (V.5:106)

2780 - وَقَالَ لِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي القَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ المَلِكِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَهْمٍ مَعَ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ، وَعَدِيِّ بْنِ بَدَّاءٍ، فَمَاتَ السَّهْمِيُّ بِأَرْضٍ لَيْسَ بِهَا مُسْلِمٌ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَا بِتَرِكَتِهِ، فَقَدُوا جَامًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ مُخَوَّصًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، «فَأَحْلَفَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلم»، ثُمَّ وُجِدَ الجَامُ بِمَكَّةَ، فَقَالُوا: ابْتَعْنَاهُ مِنْ تَمِيمٍ وَعَدِيٍّ، فَقَامَ رَجُلاَنِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِهِ، فَحَلَفَا لَشَهَادَتُنَا أَحَقُّ مِنْ شَهَادَتِهِمَا، وَإِنَّ الجَامَ لِصَاحِبِهِمْ، قَالَ: وَفِيهِمْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا شَهَادَةُ بَيْنِكُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ المَوْتُ} [المائدة: 106]
