Hadith 101

Hadith.3244 - In the narration of Yunus ibn Abd al-Rahman, from some of his companions, from Abu Abdillah (as)
I asked him about evidence when it is presented to establish a right-whether it is permissible for the judge to rule based on the testimony of the witnesses.
Imam (as) said: "There are five matters in which people must act according to apparent judgment: leadership positions, marriages, slaughtered animals, testimonies, and lineage.
So, if a man's outward appearance is trustworthy, his testimony is accepted, and his inner state is not investigated."
3244 - فِي رِوَايَةِ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْبَيِّنَةِ إِذَا أُقِيمَتْ عَلَى اَلْحَقِّ أَ يَحِلُّ لِلْقَاضِي أَنْ يَقْضِيَ بِقَوْلِ اَلْبَيِّنَةِ فَقَالَ "خَمْسَةُ أَشْيَاءَ يَجِبُ عَلَى اَلنَّاسِ اَلْأَخْذُ فِيهَا بِظَاهِرِ اَلْحُكْمِ اَلْوِلاَيَاتُ وَ اَلْمَنَاكِحُ وَ اَلذَّبَائِحُ وَ اَلشَّهَادَاتُ وَ اَلْأَنْسَابُ فَإِذَا كَانَ ظَاهِرُ اَلرَّجُلِ ظَاهِراً مَأْمُوناً، جَازَتْ شَهَادَتُهُ وَ لاَ يُسْأَلُ عَنْ بَاطِنِهِ ".
