Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27503

Ali bin Hajar told us, Ismail bin Ja’far told us, Ja’far bin Muhammad told us, on the authority of his father, that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, took an oath with The one witness. He said, “Ali decided it among you.” Abu Issa said, “This is more correct.” And this is how Sufyan Al-Thawri narrated on the authority of Ja`far bin Muhammad, on the authority of his father, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, on the authority of Abdul Aziz bin Abi Salamah and Yahya bin Sulaym, narrated this hadith on the authority of Jafar bin Muhammad, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ali, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge among the companions of The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and others have seen that the righteous are with the One Witness, who is capable of righteousness and wealth. It is the saying of Malik bin Anas, Al-Shafi 'i, Ahmad, Ishaq, and Ishaq. They said that the oath is not to be judged with the one witness except in truth and wealth. And he did not see some of them The people of knowledge from among the people of the Kufah and others to be judged in the oaths with the one witness.
