[Machine] I witnessed an incident where two men disputed over a camel that one of them claimed to be his. He argued that he had raised and produced it. So, Shurayh asked him for evidence, and he brought eight witnesses who testified in his favor. The man holding the camel then adjured him to take an oath, and Shurayh replied, "Swear." The man said, "If you establish for me eight witnesses like these, I will not rule in your favor until you swear."
