[Machine] It is narrated from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: “The testimony of a treacherous man or a treacherous woman is not admissible; nor that of one who harbors rancor against his brother; nor that of one suspected of bias due to patronage (walāʾ) or kinship; nor that of a dependent who lives with the members of a household for their benefit.” This is the wording of the report of ʿAlī. In the narration of al-Ribāṭī it says: “nor one suspected, nor one accused due to kinship.” The first wording is sounder; the addition is weak.

20865. ʿUqayl also narrated it from al-Zuhrī, that he said: “The Sunnah has passed (i.e., it is established) that the testimony of an adversary and that of one suspected of bias is not admissible.” It was related to us by Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥāfiẓ: Abū al-Walīd narrated to us; Ibrāhīm ibn al-Ḥasan ibn ʿĪsā narrated to us, from Ibn al-Mubārak, from Yaḥyā ibn Ayyūb, from ʿUqayl, from Ibn Shihāb, who mentioned it.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ خَائِنٍ وَلَا خَائِنَةٍ وَلَا ذِي غِمْرٍ عَلَى أَخِيهِ وَلَا ظَنِينٍ فِي وَلَاءٍ وَلَا قَرَابَةٍ وَلَا الْقَانِعِ مَعَ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ لَهُمْ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَلِيٍّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الرِّبَاطِيِّ وَلَا ظَنِينٍ وَلَا مُتَّهَمٍ بِقَرَابَةٍ وَالْأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ يَزِيدُ هَذَا ضَعِيفٌ

20865 وَرَوَاهُ عُقَيْلٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَضَتِ السُّنَّةُ أَنْ لَا تَجُوزَ شَهَادَةُ خَصْمٍ وَلَا ظَنِينٍ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ فَذَكَرَهُ
