The Sufficient (Vol 5) · Hadith 894 (#Ḥadīth #2)

2- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ فِي الْغَسَّالِ وَالصَّبَّاغِ مَا سُرِقَ مِنْهُمَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْهُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ بَيِّنٍ أَنَّهُ قَدْ سُرِقَ وَكُلَّ قَلِيلٍ لَهُ أَوْ كَثِيرٍ فَإِنْ فَعَلَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُقِمِ الْبَيِّنَةَ وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ الَّذِي ادُّعِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ ضَمِنَهُ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ.

2. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ’Abd Allah , has said, ‘In the case of cleaners and dyers and the items stolen from them with no clear evidence that he has stolen, of small or large quantities, if it happens, there is nothing on him, if no evidence is presented to prove it to be his doing; but if he thinks the claimant has done it, he is liable if he fails to present evidence in support of what he says.’”
