that the Prophet ﷺ said, "If the people were given according to their claims, they would claim the lives of persons and their properties, but the oath must be taken by the defendant."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «لَوْ يُعْطَى النَّاسُ بِدَعْوَاهُمْ لاَدَّعَى نَاسٌ دِمَاءَ رِجَالٍ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ۔»  

“If the people were given what they claimed, some would have claimed the lives and property of men. But the one the claim is made against is obliged to swear an oath.”  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْ يُعْطَى النَّاسُ بِدَعْوَاهُمُ ادَّعَى نَاسٌ دِمَاءَ رِجَالٍ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَلَكِنِ الْيَمِينُ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ  

“If the people were given what they claimed, some would have claimed the lives and property of men. But the one the claim is made against is obliged to swear an oath.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2321)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ أُعْطُوا بِدَعْوَاهُمْ ادَّعَى نَاسٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ دِمَاءَ نَاسٍ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ  

“If the people were given what they claimed, some would have claimed the lives and property of men. But the one the claim is made against is obliged to swear an oath.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2321)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ يُعْطَى النَّاسُ بِدَعْوَاهُمْ لَادَّعَى النَّاسُ دِمَاءَ رِجَالٍ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ»  

“If the people were given what they claimed, some would have claimed the lives and property of men. But the one the claim is made against is obliged to swear an oath.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2321)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ أُعْطِيَ النَّاسُ بِدَعْوَاهُمْ لَادَّعَى نَاسٌ دِمَاءَ رِجَالٍ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ» هَذَا قَوْلُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If people were given what they claimed, then some men would claim the lives and wealth of others. However, the burden of proof is upon the plaintiff, and the oath is upon the defendant."  

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْ يُعْطَى النَّاسُ بِدَعْوَاهُمْ لَادَّعَى رِجَالٌ دِمَاءَ رِجَالٍ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى الطَّالِبِ وَالْيَمِينَ عَلَى الْمَطْلُوبِ  

[Machine] I was a judge for Ibn Zubayr in Taif, and he mentioned the story of the two women. So, I wrote to Ibn Abbas and he wrote back that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If people were given what they claimed, men would claim the wealth and blood of others. But the burden of proof is upon the claimant, and the oath is upon the one who denies, and he mentioned the hadith."  

كُنْتُ قَاضِيًا لِابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَلَى الطَّائِفِ فَذَكَرَ قِصَّةَ الْمَرْأَتَيْنِ قَالَ فَكَتَبْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَكَتَبَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْ يُعْطَى النَّاسُ بِدَعْوَاهُمْ لَادَّعَى رِجَالٌ أَمْوَالَ قَوْمٍ وَدِمَاءَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى الْمُدَّعِي وَالْيَمِينَ عَلَى مَنْ أَنْكَرَ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

"لَوْ يُعْطَى النَّاسُ بدَعْوَاهُم لادَّعَى نَاس دمَاءَ رجَال وَأُمْوالهم، وَلَكِنِ الْيَمينُ عَلَى المُدَّعَى عَلَيه".  

"لَوْ يُعْطَى النَّاسُ بدَعْوَاهُم لادَّعَى رِجَالٌ، دِمَاءَ رِجَالٍ وَأَمْوالهُم، وَلكِنَّ الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى الْمُطَالِبِ، وَالْيَمِينَ عَلَى الْمَطلُوبِ".  

"لَوْ يُعْطَى النَّاسُ بَدعْوَاهُم لادَّعَى رِجَالٌ أَمْوَال قَوْمٍ وَدِمَاءَهُم، وَلَكِنِ الْبَيِّنَةُ عَلَى المُدَّعِي، وَالْيَمِينُ عَلَى مَنْ أَنْكَرَ".
