Arabic text

2371 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ بْنُ أَسْمَاءَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، مَوْلَى الْمُنْبَعِثِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ مِصْرَ، عَنْ سُرَّقٍ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَجَازَ شَهَادَةَ الرَّجُلِ، وَيَمِينَ الطَّالِبِ»

Commentary

Two trustworthy witnesses are compulsory to prove a claim to be true. If the claimant has one witness only, he will then take one oath along with the witness, and thus the claim of the claimant will be proven.
