darimi:3105Aḥmad b. ʿAbdullāh > Abū Shihāb > ʿAmr

[Machine] About al-Hasan, regarding a man who admitted to owing a thousand dirhams to one person and another person provided evidence of a thousand dirhams, and the deceased left behind a thousand dirhams. He said, "The money should be divided equally between the two, unless the deceased was bankrupt, then his claim cannot be accepted."  

الدارمي:٣١٠٥حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو

عَنْ الْحَسَنِ فِي رَجُلٍ اعْتَرَفَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ لِرَجُلٍ وَأَقَامَ آخَرُ بَيِّنَةً بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَتَرَكَ الْمَيِّتُ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ «الْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَيْنِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مُفْلِسًا فَلَا يَجُوزُ إِقْرَارُهُ»
