Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #28456

Qutaibah narrated to us, Marwan bin Muawiyah Al-Fazari narrated to us, on the authority of Yazid bin Ziyad Al-Dimashqi, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, on the authority of Urwa, on the authority of Aisha, She said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “It is not permissible for a male or female traitor to bear testimony to his brother.” And there is no one who has tested testimony, nor is he satisfied with the people of the household, nor is there any suspicion of loyalty or kinship.” Al-Fazari, the contented follower, said this. A strange hadith that we do not know except from the hadith of Yazid ibn Ziyad al-Dimashqi. And Yazid is weakened in the hadith, but this hadith is not known from The hadith of Al-Zuhri, except for his hadith. And on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr. He said, “We do not know the meaning of this hadith, and it is not authentic in my opinion.” By its chain of transmission. The work according to the people of knowledge in this matter is that the testimony of a relative is permissible due to his kinship. The people of knowledge differed in The father’s testimony is for the child, and the child is for his father. Most scholars did not permit the father’s testimony for the child, nor the child for the father. Some scholars said that if it is just, then the father’s testimony for the child is permissible, and so is the child’s testimony for the father. And they did not. They disagree about The testimony of a brother to his brother is permissible, as is the testimony of every relative to his relative. Al-Shafi’i said: It is not permissible for one man to bear witness against another, even if He was just if there was enmity between them. He went to the hadith of Abd al-Rahman al-Araj on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, as a messenger, “No.” It is permissible to bear the testimony of one who is benevolent. “This means one who is benevolent,” and likewise the meaning of this hadith, where it said, “It is not permissible to bear the testimony of one who is benevolent.” “An enmity toward his brother” means a man of enmity.
