[Machine] Abu Ubaid said in the hadith of Ali, in regards to the man who traveled with his companions and did not return when they did, so his family accused his companions of wrongdoing. They brought them to Shurayh and he asked them for proof of their claim of his murder. They then went to Ali and informed him of what Shurayh had said, and Ali responded: "The sea brings it forth." Saad and Saad both conveyed it. O Saad, do not relate with this camel. Then he said: "Verily, the easiest of the legislation is granting permission for water." He said: "Then he separated them and asked them, and they disagreed, then they affirmed his murder. So Ali considered him to be a killer, and he said: "Abu Ubaid narrated to me from a man whose name I do not remember, from Hisham bin Hassan, from Ibn Sirin, from Ali." Abu Ubaid said: His saying, "Saad and Saad both conveyed it." This is a simile that is said: Indeed, its origin is that a man brought water for his camel that could not reach it except by sucking it, then he contained it and slept, and left it. He said: "This action is not related by the camel." And his saying: "Verily, the easiest of the legislation is granting permission for water." is also a simile. He says: Indeed, the easiest thing that should be done for her is to enable her to access the Sharia or the basin. He says: Indeed, the easiest thing that Shurayh should do is to investigate the matter and examine and uncover the news of the man until he is excused in his request, and not to be limited to seeking evidence only.
