Hadith 18:1129

Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Ibn ‘Ulayyah narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Abi Ishaq, he said: I heard Salim ibn ‘Abdullah saying, while a group from Banu Layth were preparing to take an oath the next day regarding the *qasamah* (oath-taking in homicide cases): "O servants of Allah, look at a people who swear to that which they did not see, and were not present for, and did not witness. If I had any authority in the matter, I would have punished them, or I would have made an example of them, and I would not have accepted their testimony."

حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا بن علية عن يحيى بن أبي إسحاق قال سمعت سالم بن عبد الله يقول وقد تيسر قوم من بني ليث ليحلفوا الغد في القسامة فقال يا لعباد الله لقوم يحلفون على ما لم يروه ولم يحضروه ولم يشهدوه ولو كان لي أو إلي من الأمر شيء لعاقبتهم أو لنكلتهم أو لجعلتهم نكالا وما قبلت لهم شهادة
