Chapter on Judging by Reversing the Oath and the Invalidation of the Right Due to Refusal
1 hadith
رَوَى أَبَانٌ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا أَقَامَ اَلْمُدَّعِي اَلْبَيِّنَةَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ يَمِينٌ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُقِمِ اَلْبَيِّنَةَ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ اَلَّذِي اُدُّعِيَ عَلَيْهِ اَلْيَمِينَ فَأَبَى فَلاَ حَقَّ لَهُ ".
Aban narrated from Jamil, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "If the claimant presents evidence, then no oath is required from him. However, if he does not present evidence and the defendant offers to take an oath, but the claimant refuses, then he has no right to his claim."
