2- عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ الَّذِي يُرَدُّ مِنَ الشُّهُودِ فَقَالَ الظَّنِينُ وَالْخَصْمُ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالْفَاسِقُ وَالْخَائِنُ قَالَ فَقَالَ كُلُّ هَذَا يَدْخُلُ فِي الظَّنِينِ.

2. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muskan from Sulayman ibn Khalid who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about the witnesses whose testimony is rejected. He (the Imam) said, ‘Of such people are a pessimist and an antagonist.’ I then asked, ‘What about a sinful and a treacherous one?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Such ones are included in “pessimist”.”’
