Jami at-Tirmidhi 1341 (Book 15, Hadith 21) #26919
Burden of Proof and Oaths

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that the burden of proof lies with the claimant, and the one against whom a claim is made must take an oath.

'Amr bin Shu'aib narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that during a Khutbah, the Prophet said: "The proof is due from the claimant, and the oath is due from the one the claim is made against".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، وَغَيْرُهُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ ‏ "‏ الْبَيِّنَةُ عَلَى الْمُدَّعِي وَالْيَمِينُ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ مَقَالٌ ‏.‏ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَرْزَمِيُّ يُضَعَّفُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِفْظِهِ ضَعَّفَهُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَغَيْرُهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be honest and truthful in your dealings with others; strive for justice by providing evidence when making claims against someone else; uphold justice by taking an oath if you are accused of something you did not do or say.

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us about how to handle disputes between two parties. He said that when someone makes a claim against another person, it is up to them to provide evidence for their claim. The person who is being accused must then take an oath in order to prove their innocence or truthfulness. This hadith teaches us that we should always be honest and truthful in our dealings with others, as well as strive for justice by providing evidence when making claims against someone else. It also reminds us of our responsibility to uphold justice by taking an oath if we are accused of something we did not do or say.
