حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدٌ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَيْسَ شَهَادَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ مِثْلَ نِصْفِ شَهَادَةِ الرَّجُلِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْنَا بَلَى‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَذَلِكَ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ عَقْلِهَا ‏"‏‏.‏

Ibn Abi Maryam informed us: Muhammad ibn Jaʿfar informed us, saying: Zayd informed me, from ʿIyad ibn ʿAbdullah, from Abu Saʿid al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “Isn’t a woman’s testimony like half a man’s testimony?” We said: “Yes.” He said: “That is part of the deficiency in her reason.”
