Sahih Muslim 2153b (Book 38, Hadith 42) #12720
Bearing Witness

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Abu Sa'id giving witness to what Abu Musa said.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Yazid b. Khusaifa with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition: Abu Sa'id said: So I stood up, and went to 'Umar and gave witness (to what Abu Musa had said).
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُصَيْفَةَ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ ‏.‏ وَزَادَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَشَهِدْتُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of bearing witness and testifying to the truth. It tells us that when someone speaks the truth, it should be acknowledged and accepted as such. In this particular case, it was reported that when Abu Musa spoke the truth, his friend and companion, Abu Sa’id went to Umar and gave witness to what he said. This shows us how important it is for us to bear witness in order for justice to prevail in society. We must always strive for justice by speaking up for those who are unable or unwilling to do so themselves. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us that we should not be afraid of speaking up even if we are alone in doing so because Allah will reward those who speak up for what is right and just regardless of whether they are alone or with a group of people.
