[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Fatimah is a part of me. Whoever offends her, offends me."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَاطِمَةُ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي مَنْ آذَاهَا فَقَدْ آذَانِي
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came out while holding one of his grandchildren and said, "By Allah, you are ignorant, stingy, and cowardly. Indeed, you are the fragrance of Allah. Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, on the authority of Ali bin Hamshath Al-Adl, on the authority of Muhammad bin Ali bin Buttha, on the authority of Affan, on the authority of Wuhaib, on the authority of Abdullah bin Uthman bin Khuthaym, on the authority of Sa'id bin Abi Rashid, on the authority of Ya'la bin Munabbih Ath-Thaqafi, who said, "Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn came running to the Messenger of Allah, and he embraced them and said, 'Indeed, children are stingy, cowardly, and cause sadness.'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ وَهُوَ مُحْتَضِنٌ أَحَدَ ابْنَيِ ابْنَتِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَاللهِ إِنَّكُمْ لَتُجَهَّلُونَ وَتُجَبَّنُونَ وَتُبَخَّلُونَ وَإِنَّكُمْ لِمَنْ رَيْحَانِ اللهِ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَمْشَاذٍ الْعَدْلُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بُطْحَا ثنا عَفَّانُ ثنا وُهَيْبٌ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ جَاءَ الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ يَسْتَبِقَانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَضَمَّهُمَا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الْوَلَدَ مَبْخَلَةٌ مَجْبَنَةٌ مَحْزَنَةٌ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said that the testimony of a traitor, male or female, or the one with false pretenses, or the one with doubts or suspicions about his brother, or the one who doubts his loyalty or his relative, or someone who takes the side of the family of the Prophet ﷺ , it is not acceptable. This is the narration of Ali and also mentioned in the narration of Rabat. The initial narration is considered weak as per the scholars. It was narrated by Uqail from Az-Zuhri that the sunnah has passed that the testimony of an opponent or someone with doubts is not accepted. This was informed to us by Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz, narrated by Abu Al-Walid, narrated by Ibrahim ibn al-Hasan ibn Isa, from Ibn al-Mubarak, from Yahya ibn Ayyub, from Uqail, from Ibn Shihab, who mentioned it.
النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ خَائِنٍ وَلَا خَائِنَةٍ وَلَا ذِي غِمْرٍ عَلَى أَخِيهِ وَلَا ظَنِينٍ فِي وَلَاءٍ وَلَا قَرَابَةٍ وَلَا الْقَانِعِ مَعَ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ لَهُمْ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَلِيٍّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الرِّبَاطِيِّ وَلَا ظَنِينٍ وَلَا مُتَّهَمٍ بِقَرَابَةٍ وَالْأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ يَزِيدُ هَذَا ضَعِيفٌ 20865 وَرَوَاهُ عُقَيْلٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَضَتِ السُّنَّةُ أَنْ لَا تَجُوزَ شَهَادَةُ خَصْمٍ وَلَا ظَنِينٍ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ فَذَكَرَهُ
[Machine] The testimony of an opponent, a doubtful person, or the testimony of an opponent is valid for those who are engaged in a dispute. The Shaykh said, "And this wording is only narrated in the book that 'Umar wrote to Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari." We have already preceded its chain of narration, and we have also narrated the rejection of the testimony of a doubtful person from two trustworthy narrators from the Prophet ﷺ , and from another chain that is connected, except that there is weakness in it, which is strengthened by the two narrators accompanying it. And Allah knows best.
تَجُوزَ شَهَادَةُ خَصْمٍ وَلَا ظَنِينٍ وَلَا شَهَادَةُ خَصْمٍ لِمَنْ يُخَاصِمُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَإِنَّمَا يُرْوَى هَذَا اللَّفْظُ فِي الْقَرَابَةِ فِي الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي كَتَبَهُ عُمَرُ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ ؓ وَقَدْ مَضَى بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَرُوِّينَا رَدَّ شَهَادَةَ الظَّنِينِ مُطْلَقًا مِنْ وَجْهَيْنِ مُرْسَلَيْنِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ مَوْصُولًا إِلَّا أَنَّ فِيهِ ضَعْفًا وَهُوَ يُقَوَّى بِالْمُرْسَلَيْنِ مَعَهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
