Chapter on Whose Testimony Must Be Rejected and Whose Testimony Must Be Accepted

And Ali ibn Asbat narrated from Muhammad ibn Al-Salt who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha عليه السلام about a group of travelers who were ambushed by robbers on their journey. The robbers were captured, and some of them testified in favor of the others. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Their testimony is not accepted except if it is accompanied by a confession from the robbers themselves or testimony against them from others."
