حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَىَّ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَضَى بِالْيَمِينِ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Take an oath if accused of something and you deny it.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us that when someone is accused of something and they deny it, they should take an oath to prove their innocence. This is known as taking a yameen or qasam in Arabic. It is important to remember that this type of testimony must be taken seriously and with honesty because it carries the weight of truth in the eyes of Allah. Taking a false oath can have serious consequences both in this life and the hereafter. Therefore, we must always strive to be truthful when giving testimony or taking an oath so that we can maintain our integrity and honor before Allah.
