[Machine] Father of Bakra, repent and your testimony will be accepted. Or if you repent, your testimony will be accepted. Sufyan said that Az-Zuhri is the one who informed him, and I memorized it and then forgot it and doubted it. When we stood up, I asked the one who was present, and 'Umar ibn Qays said to me, 'He is Sa'id ibn Al-Musayyib'. Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, 'So I said to him, "Did you doubt what he said to you?" He said, "No, it is Sa'id ibn Al-Musayyib, without doubt."' Al-Shafi'i said, 'I have often heard him narrate, and he calls him Sa'id and I have often heard him say about Sa'id, "If Allah wills."  

البيهقي:٢٠٥٤٥فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ يَقُولُ زَعَمَ أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ أَنَّ شَهَادَةَ الْمَحْدُودِ لَا تَجُوزُ فَأَشْهَدُ لَأَخْبَرَنِي فُلَانٌ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَالَ

لِأَبِي بَكْرَةَ تُبْ تُقْبَلْ شَهَادَتُكَ أَوْ إِنْ تُبْتَ قُبِلَتْ شَهَادَتُكَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ سَمَّى الزُّهْرِيُّ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَهُ فَحَفِظْتُهُ ثُمَّ نَسِيتُهُ وَشَكَكْتُ فِيهِ فَلَمَّا قُمْنَا سَأَلْتُ مَنْ حَضَرَ فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ هُوَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَهَلْ شَكَكْتَ فِيمَا قَالَ لَكَ؟ قَالَ لَا هُوَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ غَيْرَ شَكٍّ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَكَثِيرًا مَا سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُهُ فَيُسَمِّي سَعِيدًا وَكَثِيرًا مَا سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ وَقَدْ  

رَوَاهُ غَيْرُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحِفْظِ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ شَكٌّ وَزَادَ فِيهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ اسْتَتَابَ الثَّلَاثَةَ فَتَابَ اثْنَانِ فَأَجَازَ شَهَادَتَهُمَا وَأَبَى أَبُو بَكْرَةَ فَرَدَّ شَهَادَتَهُ
