Chapter 25 · The Office of the Judge (Kitab Al-Aqdiyah)كَيْفَ الْيَمِينُ
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ يَعْنِي لِرَجُلٍ حَلَّفَهُ: احْلِفْ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ، مَا لَهُ عِنْدَكَ شَيْءٌ ، يَعْنِي لِلْمُدَّعِي، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: أَبُو يَحْيَى اسْمُهُ زِيَادٌ كُوفِيٌّ ثِقَةٌ.
