Chapter on Whose Testimony Must Be Rejected and Whose Testimony Must Be Accepted
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ اَلصَّيْرَفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْمَاضِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ فِي رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَ لَهُ أُمُّ وَلَدٍ وَ قَدْ جَعَلَ لَهَا سَيِّدُهَا شَيْئاً فِي حَيَاتِهِ ثُمَّ مَاتَ قَالَ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "لَهَا مَا آتَاهَا بِهِ سَيِّدُهَا فِي حَيَاتِهِ مَعْرُوفٌ ذَلِكَ لَهَا تُقْبَلُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَهَادَةُ اَلرَّجُلِ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةِ وَ اَلْخَدَمِ غَيْرِ اَلْمُتَّهَمِينَ".
And Ibn Abi Umair narrated from Al-Husayn bin Khalid Al-Sayrafi, from Abu Al-Hasan Al-Madhi, peace be upon him, who said: I wrote to Imam عليه السلام regarding a man who died, leaving behind a bondwoman, and her master had given her something during his lifetime. Then the master died. Imam عليه السلام wrote back: "She is entitled to what her master gave her during his lifetime, as it is recognized for her. The testimony of a man, a woman, and trustworthy servants is accepted in this matter, provided they are not accused of dishonesty."
