Le cas d'un homme qui entend un témoignage sans le confirmer

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man hears a testimony but has not witnessed it, he has the choice to testify or remain silent, unless he knows that a rightful party suffers injustice, in which case it is not lawful to remain silent.’”

Quand un homme entend un témoignage et ne témoigne pas en sa faveur, il a le choix : s'il le souhaite, il peut témoigner, et s'il le souhaite, il peut se taire, sauf s'il sait que le témoin est injuste, alors qu'il témoigne, et il ne lui est pas permis de témoigner autrement.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ’Isma‘il ibn Marrar and others from Yunus from certain persons of his people who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man hears a testimony but has not witnessed it, he has the choice to testify or remain silent, unless he knows that a rightful party suffers injustice, in which case it is not lawful to remain silent.’”

قَالَ إِذَا سَمِعَ الرَّجُلُ الشَّهَادَةَ فَلَمْ يُشْهَدْ عَلَيهَا فَهُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ إِنْ شَاءَ شَهِدَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ سَكَتَ إِلا إِذَا عَلِمَ مِنَ الظَّالِمِ فَيَشْهَدُ وَلا يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ لا يَشهَدَ.

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man hears a testimony but has not witnessed it, he has the choice to testify or remain silent.’”

Lorsqu'un homme entend un témoignage et ne témoigne pas en sa faveur, il a le choix : s'il le souhaite, il témoigne, et s'il le souhaite, il se tait.

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Hilal from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the case of a man who is present during the accounting of the two of them who ask him to bear witness to what he has heard from them. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is up to him to bear witness or not, but if he witnesses a true case which he has heard and does not testify, there is nothing against him if he did not testify because they had not asked him to bear witness.’”

Cela dépend de lui, s'il veut témoigner, il peut le faire, et s'il ne veut pas, il ne le fait pas. S'il témoigne avec vérité sur ce qu'il a entendu, tant mieux, sinon il n'a rien à craindre, car ils ne l'ont pas entendu.
