Sunan Abi Dawud 3600 (Book 25, Hadith 30) #23890
Rejecting Testimony of Certain People

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) rejected the testimony of deceitful people, those who harbour enmity against their brothers, and those who are dependent on a family.

'Amr bin Shu'aib on his father's authority told that his grandfather said: The Messenger of Allah rejected the testimony of a deceitful man and woman, of one who harbours rancour against his brother, and he rejected the testimony of one who is dependent on a family, and he allowed his testimony for other. Abu Dawud said: Ghimr means malice and enimity ; qani (dependant), a subordinate servant like a special servant.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَدَّ شَهَادَةَ الْخَائِنِ وَالْخَائِنَةِ وَذِي الْغِمْرِ عَلَى أَخِيهِ وَرَدَّ شَهَادَةَ الْقَانِعِ لأَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ وَأَجَازَهَا لِغَيْرِهِمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْغِمْرُ الْحِنَةُ وَالشَّحْنَاءُ وَالْقَانِعُ الأَجِيرُ التَّابِعُ مِثْلُ الأَجِيرِ الْخَاصِّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the testimony of certain people and how it should be treated by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ rejected the testimony of deceitful people, those who harbour enmity against their brothers, and those who are dependent on a family. He did not allow them to give any kind of testimony in court or other legal matters as they were not reliable sources for information or evidence due to their character traits or circumstances. However, he allowed other people to give testimonies in such cases as long as they were trustworthy and honest individuals with no ill intentions towards others. This hadith teaches us that we should always be honest when giving testimonies in court or other legal matters so that justice can prevail without any biasness or prejudice from our side towards anyone else involved in the case. It also teaches us to stay away from deceitfulness and enmity towards our brothers so that we can maintain good relationships with them at all times while also being reliable sources for information when needed by others around us.
