٦٦۔ كِتَابُ الشَّهَادَاتِ
[Machine] It was narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said, "So he mentioned the hadith in which he mentioned what I saw of women who are lacking in intellect and religion is widespread among you." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the deficiency in intellect and religion?" He said, "As for the deficiency in intellect, the testimony of two women is equal to the testimony of one man, and this is the deficiency in intellect. And the nights that a woman does not pray or fast in Ramadan, this is the deficiency in religion."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَغْلَبَ لِذِي اللُّبِ مِنْكُنَّ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ وَالدِّينِ؟ قَالَ أَمَّا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ فَشَهَادَةُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ تَعْدِلُ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلٍ فَذَلِكَ نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ وَتَمْكُثُ اللَّيَالِيَ مَا تُصَلِّي وَتُفْطِرُ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَهَذَا نُقْصَانُ الدِّينِ
[Machine] "It is not permissible except for four women in Istihlal."
لَا يَجُوزُ إِلَّا أَرْبَعُ نِسْوَةٍ فِي الِاسْتِهْلَالِ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ approved the testimony of the midwife, Muhammad bin Abdul Malik, whom Al-A'mash did not hear of, there was an unknown man between them. Abu Bakr bin Al-Harith Al-Faqih informed us, Abu Al-Hasan Ali bin Omar Al-Hafiz informed us, Omar bin Al-Hasan informed us, Ismail bin Al-Fadl and Muhammad bin Bishr bin Matar said, Wahb bin Baqiyah narrated to us, Muhammad bin Abdul Malik narrated to us, from Abu Abdul Rahman Al-Madaini, from Al-A'mash, who mentioned it in similar words. Abu Al-Hasan Ad-Daraqutni, Abu Abdul Rahman Al-Madaini, is an unknown man.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَجَازَ شَهَادَةَ الْقَابِلَةِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنَ الْأَعْمَشِ بَيْنَهُمَا رَجُلٌ مَجْهُولٌ 20543 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرِ بْنِ مَطَرٍ قَالَا ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَدَائِنِيُّ رَجُلٌ مَجْهُولٌ
[Machine] About Ali, we were not confident in him, but in his chain of narration there is a flaw. Imam Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "If it were proven from Ali, we would have relied on him, if Allah wills. However, he is not proven among you or among us from him."
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ لَقُلْنَا بِهِ وَلَكِنْ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ خَلَلٌ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ لَوْ ثَبَتَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ صِرْنَا إِلَيْهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَثْبُتُ عِنْدَكُمْ وَلَا عِنْدَنَا عَنْهُ
