Sayyidina Tamim Dari (RA) referred to this verse: "O ye who believe! When death approaches any of you, (take) witnesses among yourselves when making bequests,- two just men of your own (brotherhood) or others from outside if ye are journeying through the earth, and the chance of death befalls you (thus). If ye doubt (their truth), detain them both after prayer, and let them both swear by Allah: "We wish not in this for any worldly gain, even though the (beneficiary) be our near relation: we shall hide not the evidence before Allah: if we do, then behold! the sin be upon us!"(5:106) He said, Apart from me and Adi ibn Baddah everyone was absioved.’ They had been both ChistiAnas (RA) travelling to and from Syrian before embracing Islam. Once while they went to Syria on a trade journey, the freedom of Banu Sahm Budayl ibn Abu Maryam came to them. He had a silver drinking glass with him which he intended to present to the king this being a precious merchandise. But, he fell ill and instructed the two men to deliver hie legacy to his family. Tamim said, “When he died, we sold the drinking glass for a thousand dirham and divided the proceeds between the two of us, myself and Adi ibn Badda. When we came to his family, we gave them what we had, and they missed the drinking glass. Theyaske4 us about it and we said that he had not left behind anything besides that (which we gave them) and he had not given us anything else. When I embraced Islam after the Prophet’s ﷺ arrival at Madinah, I was overwhelmed with this sin. So, I went to his family and disclosed to them the facts and paid them five hundred dinars telling them that my friend had as much. They took him to Allah’s Messenger ﷺ and he asked to produce witness which they did not have. So he commanded them to ask Adi to swear on the most valuable of his religion. He did take the oath.” Allah revealed the verse: "O ye who believe! When death approaches any of you, (take) witnesses among yourselves when making bequests,- two just men of your own (brotherhood) or others from outside if ye are journeying through the earth, and the chance of death befalls you (thus). If ye doubt (their truth), detain them both after prayer, and let them both swear by Allah: "We wish not in this for any worldly gain, even though the (beneficiary) be our near relation: we shall hide not the evidence before Allah: if we do, then behold! the sin be upon us!" (5:106) But if it be discovered that both of them merited the sin (of perjury), then two others shall stand up in their place, from among the nearest of those whose rights were sinned against so they should both swear by Allah (saying), “Certainly our testimony is truer than the testimony of these two, and we shall not have transgressed, for then we would certainly be among the evildoers.” Thus it is more likely that they will bear testimony in its exact form, or else they will fear that after their oaths, other oaths will be admitted in rebuttal of (their) oaths. (5: 106) So Amr ibn al-Aas stood up as did another man and they each took the oath. The five hundred dinars were taken away from Adi ibn Baddah. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
