Hadith 157
۞
Hadith.3300 - And it was narrated by Al-Hasan ibn Ali Al-Washsha' from Ahmad ibn Umar, who said
I asked Imam (as) about the saying of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic:
"Two just men from among you or two others from outside you." (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:106)
Imam (as) said: "The two from among you are Muslims, and the two from outside you are from the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab). And if none from the People of the Book can be found, then from the Magians, because the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, said: 'Deal with them as you would with the People of the Book.'
And this applies if a man dies in a foreign land and cannot find two Muslims to bear witness, then two men from the People of the Book may act as witnesses."
3300 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ اَلْوَشَّاءُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ:
ذَوٰا عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ أَوْ آخَرٰانِ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ
قَالَ "اَللَّذَانِ مِنْكُمْ مُسْلِمَانِ وَ اَللَّذَانِ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلْكِتَابِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلْكِتَابِ فَمِنَ اَلْمَجُوسِ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ "سُنُّوا بِهِمْ سُنَّةَ أَهْلِ اَلْكِتَابِ " وَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا مَاتَ اَلرَّجُلُ بِأَرْضِ غُرْبَةٍ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يُشْهِدُهُمَا فَرَجُلاَنِ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلْكِتَابِ ".
