Hadith.3319 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Al-Alaa, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said
"If the matter were up to us, we would permit the testimony of one man, if he is known for goodness, along with the oath of the claimant, in the rights of people. However, as for the rights of Allah (swt), the Almighty, and the sighting of the crescent moon, we would not permit it."
3319 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"لَوْ كَانَ اَلْأَمْرُ إِلَيْنَا لَأَجَزْنَا شَهَادَةَ اَلرَّجُلِ إِذَا عُلِمَ مِنْهُ خَيْرٌ مَعَ يَمِينِ اَلْخَصْمِ فِي حُقُوقِ اَلنَّاسِ فَأَمَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ حُقُوقِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ رُؤْيَةِ اَلْهِلاَلِ فَلاَ".
