Hadith 19:804
Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Ibn Numayr narrated to us, from Isma'il ibn Abi Khalid, from 'Imran, from al-Sha'bi, that he was asked about four [men] who testified against a man that he is not the son of so-and-so, and four [men] testified that he is the son of so-and-so. He said: "Ward off [the punishment/claim] from these, because they are four, and believe the others."
حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا بن نمير عن إسماعيل بن أبي خالد عن عمران عن الشعبي أنه سئل عن أربعة شهدوا على رجل أنه ليس بن فلان وشهد أربعة أنه بن فلان فقال ادرأ عن هؤلاء لأنهم أربعة وصدق الآخرين
