[Machine] The testimony of a man is not valid as evidence against another man in matters of punishment or guarantee. It has also been narrated from Shurayh, Masrooq, and Ibrahim. A hadith with a weak chain of narration has also been narrated on this matter.  

البيهقي:١١٤١٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا السَّرَّاجُ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ

لَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى شَهَادَةِ الرَّجُلِ فِي حَدٍّ وَلَا كَفَالَةَ فِي حَدٍّ وَرُوِّينَاهُ أَيْضًا عَنْ شُرَيْحٍ وَمَسْرُوقٍ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَرُوِيَ فِيهِ حَدِيثٌ بِإِسْنَادٍ ضَعِيفٍ

[Machine] About Masrooq and Shurayh, they said that a testimony cannot be accepted on top of another testimony in a hadd punishment, and it cannot be guaranteed in a hadd punishment.  

البيهقي:٢١١٨٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثنا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ وَشُرَيْحٍ أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا لَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةٌ عَلَى شَهَادَةٍ فِي حَدٍّ وَلَا يُكْفَلُ فِي حَدٍّ
