1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُقِيمُ الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى حَقِّهِ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُسْتَحْلَفَ قَالَ لا.

2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِذَا أَقَامَ الرَّجُلُ الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى حَقِّهِ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ يَمِينٌ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُقِمِ الْبَيِّنَةَ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الَّذِي ادُّعِيَ عَلَيْهِ الْيَمِينَ فَإِنْ أَبَى أَنْ يَحْلِفَ فَلا حَقَّ لَهُ. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) مِثْلَهُ.
2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam or others from Aban from abu al-‘Abbas who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘If a man presents testimony to prove his right, it then is not obligatory on him to take an oath; but if he does not present testimony and the defendant turns the oath to him and he (plaintiff) declines to take an oath, he then does not have any right.”’ Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Aban from a man from abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has narrated a similar Hadith.
