The Sufficient (Vol 5) · Hadith 1136 (#Ḥadīth #1)

1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ لَيْسَ لَكَ أَنْ تَتَّهِمَ مَنِ ائْتَمَنْتَهُ وَلا تَأْتَمِنَ الْخَائِنَ وَقَدْ جَرَّبْتَهُ.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Harun ibn Muslim from Mas’adah ibn Sadaqah who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah , has said, ‘You cannot accuse one whom you trust and you must not trust a treacherous person when you have already tried him.’’’
