حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ:
أَقَامَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ بَيِّنَةً [١]، فَقَالَ خَصْمُهُ: يَمِينُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ شُهُودِهِ، فَاسْتَحْلَفَهُ [رَجُلٌ] [٢]فَنَكَلَ، فَقَالَ شُرَيْحٌ: بِئْسَ مَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى شُهُودِكَ، وَرَدَّ شَهَادَتَهُمْ

Machine translation, not reviewed
A man brought evidence against a man [1], and his opponent said: His oath is more beloved to me than his witnesses. So he made him swear [a man] [2], and he refused. Shurayh said: Evil is what you praised your witnesses with, and he rejected their testimony.
