Hurayrah, that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "I consulted Gabriel regarding judging by an oath along with a witness, and he signaled to me regarding wealth, that it does not exceed that." And 'Amr ibn Dinar narrated from Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), that he judged by the witness and the oath? He said: "Yes, in matters of wealth." The interpretation of the narrator is more worthy [of acceptance] than the interpretation of others. Imam Ahmad and others narrated it with their chains of authority.
1884 - Issue: He said: "And nothing less than a man and two women, or a just man along with the oath of the claimant, is accepted in matters of wealth."
The sum of this is that wealth, such as loans, usurpation (ghasb), all debts, and what is intended for wealth, such as sales, endowments (waqf), leasing, gifts, settlement, sharecropping (musaqah), speculative partnership (mudharaba), partnership, bequests made to him, and offenses (jinaya) requiring financial compensation—such as accidental offense, intentional-accidental offense, and intentional offense requiring wealth rather than retaliation, such as a deep wound (ja'ifa) and head wounds less than a clear wound (mudiha)—are established by the testimony of a man and two women. [And Abu Bakr said: An offense against the body is not established by the testimony of a man and two women] because it is an offense, so it resembles what requires retaliation. The first [view] is more correct because its obligation is wealth, so it resembles sale and differs from what requires retaliation, because the testimony of women is not accepted in retaliation, nor in what it necessitates. Wealth is established by the testimony of women, and likewise what it necessitates. There is no disagreement that wealth is established by the testimony of women alongside men. Allah the Almighty has explicitly stated this in His Book, by His saying, the Almighty: "O you who believe, when you contract a debt..." until His saying: "And call upon two witnesses from among your men, but if there are not two men, then a man and two women from those you approve as witnesses." All scholars are in consensus on acting according to this. We have already mentioned the reports of Abu Hurayrah and Ibn Abbas regarding it.

هُرَيْرَةَ، أنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- قال: "اسْتَشَرْتُ جِبْرِيلَ فى القَضَاءِ بِالْيَمِينِ مَعَ الشَّاهِدِ، فَأشَارَ عَلَىَّ فِى الأمْوَالِ، لا تَعْدُو (٨) ذَلِكَ". وقال عمرُو بنُ دينارٍ، عن ابنِ عباسٍ، عن النَّبِىِّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ-، أنَّه قَضَى بالشَّاهدِ واليمينِ؟ قال: نعم فى الأموالِ. وتفسيرُ الرَّاوِى أوْلَى مِن تفسيرِ غيرِه. روَاه الإمامُ أحمدُ، وغيرُه (٩)، بإسْنادِهم.
١٨٨٤ - مسألة؛ قال: (وَلَا يُقْبَلُ فِى الْأمْوَالِ أقَلُّ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَامْرَأتَيْنِ، وَرَجُلٍ عَدْلٍ مَعَ يَمِينِ الطَّالِبِ)
وجملةُ ذلك، أنَّ المالَ كالقَرْضِ، والغَصْبِ، والدُّيونِ كلِّها، وما يُقْصَدُ به المالُ كالبَيْعِ، والوَقْفِ، والإجارَةِ، والهِبَةِ، والصُّلْحِ، والمُساقاةِ، والمُضارَبةِ، والشَّركةِ، والوَصِيَّةِ له، والجِنايةِ المُوجِبَةِ للمالِ؛ كجِنايةِ الخَطَأِ، وعَمْدِ الخَطأِ، والعَمْدِ المُوجِبِ للمالِ دونَ القِصاصِ، كالجائفةِ، وما دون المُوضِحَةِ من الشِّجاجِ، تثْبُتُ بشهادةِ رجلٍ وامرأتيْنِ. [وقال أبو بكرٍ: لا تثْبُتُ الجِنايةُ فى البَدنِ بشَهادةِ رجلٍ وامرأتيْنِ] (١)؛ لأنها جِنايةٌ، فأشبهَتْ ما يُوجبُ القِصاصَ. والأوَّلُ أصحُّ؛ لأنَّ مُوجَبَها المالُ، فأشْبَهتِ البيعَ، وفارَقَ ما يوُجِبُ القِصاصَ، لأنَّ القصاصَ لا تُقْبَلُ فيه شهادةُ النِّساءِ، وكذلك ما يُوجِبُه. والمالُ يَثْبُتُ بشَهادةِ النِّساءِ، وكذلك ما يُوجِبُه. ولا خلافَ فى أنَّ المالَ يثْبُتُ بشَهادةِ النِّساءِ مع الرِّجالِ. وقد نَصَّ اللهُ تعالى على ذلك فى كتابِه، بقولِه سبحانه: {يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا تَدَايَنْتُمْ بِدَيْنٍ}. إلى قوله: {وَاسْتَشْهِدُوا شَهِيدَيْنِ
