حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَهْمٍ مَعَ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ وَعَدِيِّ بْنِ بَدَاءٍ فَمَاتَ السَّهْمِيُّ بِأَرْضٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا مُسْلِمٌ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَا بِتَرِكَتِهِ فَقَدُوا جَامًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ مُخَوَّصًا بِالذَّهَبِ فَأَحْلَفَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ وُجِدَ الْجَامُ بِمَكَّةَ فَقِيلَ اشْتَرَيْنَاهُ مِنْ عَدِيٍّ وَتَمِيمٍ فَقَامَ رَجُلاَنِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءِ السَّهْمِيِّ فَحَلَفَا بِاللَّهِ لَشَهَادَتُنَا أَحَقُّ مِنْ شَهَادَتِهِمَا وَأَنَّ الْجَامَ لِصَاحِبِهِمْ . قَالَ وَفِيهِمْ نَزَلَتْ : ( يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا شَهَادَةُ بَيْنِكُمْ ) هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَهُوَ حَدِيثُ ابْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ .

Ibn ‘Abbas reported: ‘A man from Banu Sahm travelled with Tamim al-Dari and ‘Adi ibn Badda. The man from Banu Sahm died in a land where there were no Muslims. When the two men returned with his estate, a silver cup inlaid with gold was missing. The Messenger of Allah had them swear an oath. Later the cup was found in Mecca, and someone said, “We bought it from ‘Adi and Tamim.” Two men among the heirs of the man from Banu Sahm stood and swore by Allah, “Our testimony is more rightful than theirs, and the cup belongs to our companion.”’ Ibn ‘Abbas said that the verse “Believers, let there be testimony between you…” (Qur’an 5:106) was revealed concerning them. Abu ‘Isa graded this report hasan gharib and identified it as the narration of Ibn Abi Za’idah.
