One who Does not have Testimony, then Oath is Turned on Him

4- حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي الرَّجُلِ يُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ الْحَقُّ وَلَيْسَ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ بَيِّنَةٌ قَالَ يُسْتَحْلَفُ الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ أَبَى أَنْ يَحْلِفَ وَقَالَ أَنَا أَرُدُّ الْيَمِينَ عَلَيْكَ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ وَاجِبٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ أَنْ يَحْلِفَ وَيَأْخُذَ مَالَهُ.
4. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama‘ah, from certain persons of his people from Aban from a man who has narrated the following: “This is about the case of a man who claims to have a right on another man but does not have any testimony. Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘He can ask the defendant to take an oath, but if he declines and asks the plaintiff to take an oath, then it is obligatory on him to take an oath to receive his right.’”
