The Witnesses who are Rejected

3- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَمَّا يُرَدُّ مِنَ الشُّهُودِ فَقَالَ الظَّنِينُ وَالْمُتَّهَمُ وَالْخَصْمُ قَالَ قُلْتُ الْفَاسِقُ وَالْخَائِنُ قَالَ كُلُّ هَذَا يَدْخُلُ فِي الظَّنِينِ‏.
3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Safwan from Shu’ayb from abu Basir who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the witnesses whose testimonies are rejected. He (the Imam) said, ‘He (the Imam) said, ‘Of such people are a pessimist, an accused and an antagonist.’ I then asked, ‘What about a sinful and a treacherous one?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Such ones are included in “pessimist”.”’
