52.4 When a witness or witnesses give an evidence

٥٢۔٤ بَابُ إِذَا شَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ أَوْ شُهُودٌ بِشَيْءٍ فَقَالَ آخَرُونَ مَا عَلِمْنَا ذَلِكَ. يُحْكَمُ بِقَوْلِ مَنْ شَهِدَ

[Machine] Al-Humaydi said, "This is as Bilal reported, that the Prophet ﷺ prayed in the Kaaba." Al-Fadl said, "He did not pray." So the people took the testimony of Bilal. Likewise, if two witnesses testify that one person owes another person a thousand dirhams, and two other witnesses testify that it is one thousand and five hundred, the excess is settled.

قَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ هَذَا كَمَا أَخْبَرَ بِلاَلٌ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي الْكَعْبَةِ. وَقَالَ الْفَضْلُ لَمْ يُصَلِّ. فَأَخَذَ النَّاسُ بِشَهَادَةِ بِلاَلٍ. كَذَلِكَ إِنْ شَهِدَ شَاهِدَانِ أَنَّ لِفُلاَنٍ عَلَى فُلاَنٍ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ وَشَهِدَ آخَرَانِ بِأَلْفٍ وَخَمْسِمِائَةٍ يُقْضَى بِالزِّيَادِةَ.

bukhari:2640Ḥibbān > ʿAbdullāh > ʿUmar b. Saʿīd b. Abū Ḥusayn > ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Mulaykah > ʿUqbah b. al-Ḥārith > Tazawwaj Āb.ah Lʾabī Ihāb b. ʿAzīz Faʾatath Āmraʾah > Qad Arḍaʿt ʿUqbah And al--Atī Tazawwaj

ʿUqba married the daughter of Abu Ihab bin ʿAziz, and then a woman came and said, "I suckled ʿUqba and his wife." ʿUqba said to her, "I do not know that you have suckled me, and you did not inform me." He then sent someone to the house of Abu Ihab to inquire about that but they did not know that she had suckled their daughter. Then ʿUqba went to the Prophet ﷺ in Medina and asked him about it. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "How (can you keep your wife) after it has been said (that both of you were suckled by the same woman)?" So, he divorced her and she was married to another (husband).  

البخاري:٢٦٤٠حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ ابْنَةً لأَبِي إِهَابِ بْنِ عَزِيزٍ فَأَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُ عُقْبَةَ وَالَّتِي تَزَوَّجَ فَقَالَ

لَهَا عُقْبَةُ مَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكِ أَرْضَعْتِنِي وَلاَ أَخْبَرْتِنِي فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى آلِ أَبِي إِهَابٍ يَسْأَلُهُمْ فَقَالُوا مَا عَلِمْنَا أَرْضَعَتْ صَاحِبَتَنَا فَرَكِبَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَيْفَ وَقَدْ قِيلَ فَفَارَقَهَا وَنَكَحَتْ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ
