[Machine] I witnessed in front of a sheikh over a Quran, so he alone approved his testimony.  

البيهقي:٢٠٦٨٥أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَحْمَسِيُّ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ قَالَ

شَهِدْتُ عِنْدَ شُرَيْحٍ عَلَى مُصْحَفٍ فَأَجَازَ شَهَادَتَهُ وَحْدَهُ
