[Machine] "Allah said: 'If there is no clear evidence for the seeker, then the liability is on the one being sought after to swear an oath. We narrated the hadith of evidence to the claimant, and the oath is upon the accused from various perspectives, all of which are weak. And what we mentioned is sufficient. Abu Tahir Al-Faqih informed us that Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya informed us that Yahya ibn Al-Rabee' Al-Makki narrated to us from Sufyan ibn Uyaynah from Idris Al-Awdi who said: Sa'id bin Abi Burdah brought us a book and said, 'This is a book from Umar to Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari.' And he mentioned in it the evidence for those who claim and the oath upon those who deny."
