بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْبَيِّنَةِ عَلَى الْمُدَّعِي
Chapter: What is said regarding the rule that the plaintiff has to produce a proof
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَقَدْ وَقَعَ بِهَا مَرَضٌ، وَهُمْ يَمُوتُونَ مَوْتًا ذَرِيعًا، فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ فَمَرَّتْ جِنَازَةٌ فَأُثْنِيَ خَيْرٌ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَجَبَتْ. ثُمَّ مُرَّ بِأُخْرَى فَأُثْنِيَ خَيْرًا فَقَالَ وَجَبَتْ. ثُمَّ مُرَّ بِالثَّالِثَةِ فَأُثْنِيَ شَرًّا، فَقَالَ وَجَبَتْ. فَقُلْتُ مَا وَجَبَتْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” أَيُّمَا مُسْلِمٍ شَهِدَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةٌ بِخَيْرٍ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ ”. قُلْنَا وَثَلاَثَةٌ قَالَ ” وَثَلاَثَةٌ ”. قُلْتُ وَاثْنَانِ قَالَ ” وَاثْنَانِ ”. ثُمَّ لَمْ نَسْأَلْهُ عَنِ الْوَاحِدِ.
Narrated Abu Al-Aswad: Once I went to Medina where there was an outbreak of disease and the people were dying rapidly. I
was sitting with `Umar and a funeral procession passed by. The people praised the deceased. `Umar
said, “It has been affirmed” (Paradise). Then another funeral procession passed by. The people praised
the deceased. `Umar said, “It has been affirmed.” (Paradise). Then another funeral procession passed
by. The people praised the deceased. `Umar said, “It has been affirmed (Paradise).” Then a third
funeral procession passed by and the people talked badly of the deceased. `Umar said, “It has been
affirmed (Hell).” I asked `Umar, “O chief of the believers! What has been affirmed?” He said, “I have
said what the Prophet (ﷺ) said. He said, ‘Allah will admit into paradise any Muslim whose good character
is attested by four persons.’ We asked the Prophet, ‘If there were three witnesses only?’ He said, ‘Even
three.’ We asked, ‘If there were two only?’ He said, ‘Even two.’ But we did not ask him about one
witness.”
