3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has narrated the following: “Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali (a.s.), has said, ‘If Jews and Christians bear testimony then become Muslims, their testimony is admissible.’”

قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى إِذَا شَهِدُوا ثُمَّ أَسْلَمُوا جَازَتْ شَهَادَتُهُمْ.

4. Ali has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following: “I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about a child, a slave and a Christian who bear testimony; then the Christian becomes a Muslim, if his testimony becomes admissible. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it becomes admissible.’”

J'ai demandé à l'un d'eux au sujet d'un enfant, d'un esclave et d'un chrétien qui témoignent d'un témoignage, et si le chrétien se convertit, sa parole est-elle acceptable? Il a répondu: Oui.

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Najran from Muhammad ibn Humran who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a Christian man who bears a testimony, then becomes a Muslim if his testimony is acceptable. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he is in the right position to testify.’”

J'ai demandé à Abu Abdullah (sur lui la paix) à propos d'un chrétien qui témoigne puis se convertit par la suite, est-ce que sa première attestation est valide ? Il a répondu : Oui, il en est ainsi à l'endroit de son témoignage.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn al-Hakam who has narrated the following: “About the meaning of the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ’. . .or two from people other than your people,’ (5:106) abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘This applies when a man is away from his land where Muslims are not found, then appointing non-Muslims as witness to a will is permissible.’”

فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَوْ آخَرانِ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِي أَرْضِ غُرْبَةٍ لا يُوجَدُ فِيهَا مُسْلِمٌ جَازَتْ شَهَادَةُ مَنْ لَيْسَ بِمُسْلِمٍ عَلَى الْوَصِيَّةِ.

7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Mahbub from abu Ayyub ‘Abd al-’Aziz al-‘ from Durays al-Kunasiy who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the testimony of people of other nations if they can be appointed as witness. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, unless no one else can be found, in which case their bearing testimony about a will is permissible, because it is not proper to invalidate the right of a Muslim man and void his will.’”

J'ai demandé à Abi Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) au sujet du témoignage des gens d'autres religions, est-il valable pour un homme qui n'est pas de leur religion ? Il a répondu : Non, sauf s'il n'y a personne d'autre dans cette situation que eux. Car s'il n'y a personne d'autre que eux, leur témoignage est valable dans les affaires de succession, car il n'est pas convenable de priver un musulman de ses droits, et son testament ne sera pas annulé.

8. Ibn Mahbub has narrated from Jamil ibn Salih from Hamzah ibn Humran who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the meaning of the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘. . . two just man from among you or two men from other people. 5 (5:106) He (the Imam) said, ‘The ‘two from you’ means two Muslims, the ‘two from other people 5 means from the followers of the book. 5 He (the Imam) then said, ‘This can happen when a Muslim dies far away from his land where he cannot find two Muslim men, thus he can appoint two taxpayers of the followers of the book who are acceptable among their own people to bear witness to his will."

J'ai demandé à l'Imam Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) au sujet de la parole d'Allah, Le Très-Haut : "Deux hommes équitables parmi vous ou d'autres venant d'ailleurs." Il a répondu : "Ceux parmi vous sont des musulmans, et ceux venant d'ailleurs sont des gens du Livre. Cela est applicable lorsque meurt un homme musulman dans une terre étrangère, et qu'il cherche deux hommes musulmans pour témoigner sur son testament mais ne les trouve pas, alors qu'il fasse témoigner deux hommes du Livre, acceptables auprès de leurs communautés."
