1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Faddal from Ali ibn ‘Uqbah from Musa ibn ‘Ukayl al-Numayriy from ibn abu Ya’fur who has narrated the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ’If a plaintiff agrees with the defendant’s taking an oath who then swears that the plaintiff does not have any right on him, it abolishes the right of the plaintiff and the case is dismissed.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if he can present just testimony?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, even so, an oath by Allah fifty times abolishes and invalidates his claim because of which he had asked for an oath.’”
1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أُكَيْلٍ النُّمَيْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
إِذَا رَضِيَ صَاحِبُ الْحَقِّ بِيَمِينِ الْمُنْكِرِ لِحَقِّهِ فَاسْتَحْلَفَهُ فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لا حَقَّ لَهُ قِبَلَهُ ذَهَبَتِ الْيَمِينُ بِحَقِّ الْمُدَّعِي فَلا دَعْوَى لَهُ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ عَادِلَةٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنْ أَقَامَ بَعْدَ مَا اسْتَحْلَفَهُ بِاللهِ خَمْسِينَ قَسَامَةً مَا كَانَ لَهُ وَكَانَتِ الْيَمِينُ قَدْ أَبْطَلَتْ كُلَّ مَا ادَّعَاهُ قَبْلَهُ مِمَّا قَدِ اسْتَحْلَفَهُ عَلَيْهِ.
