Chapter on the Invalidation of the Claimant's Right by Administering an Oath Even if They Have Evidence
قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: "مَنْ حَلَفَ لَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ عَلَى حَقٍّ فَصَدِّقُوهُ وَ مَنْ سَأَلَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعْطُوهُ ذَهَبَتِ اَلْيَمِينُ بِدَعْوَى اَلْمُدَّعِي وَ لاَ دَعْوَى لَهُ".
The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "Whoever swears to you by Allah سبحانه وتعالى regarding a right, then believe him, and whoever asks you in the name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, then give him. The oath is for the claimant, and there is no claim for him without it."
