عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا; أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -قَالَ: { "لَوْ يُعْطَى اَلنَّاسُ بِدَعْوَاهُمْ, لَادَّعَى نَاسٌ دِمَاءَ رِجَالٍ, وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ, وَلَكِنِ اَلْيَمِينُ عَلَى اَلْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ" } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه ِ 1 وَلِلْبَيْهَقِيِّ بِإِسْنَادٍ صَحِيحٍ: { "اَلْبَيِّنَةُ عَلَى اَلْمُدَّعِي, وَالْيَمِينُ عَلَى مَنْ أَنْكَرَ } 2 .1 - صحيح. رواه البخاري ( 4552 )، ومسلم ( 1711 ) والسياق لمسلم، وفيه عند البخاري قصة.2 - صحيح. رواه البيهقي ( 10 / 252 ) وهو قطعة من الحديث السابق، وله شواهد عن غير ابن عباس.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (RA):
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "If people were given whatever they claimed (in disputes), some people would claim the lives and wealth of others; but the oath (of denial) must be taken by the defendant."[Agreed upon]. al-Baihaqi has reported with a Sahih (authentic) chain of narrators: "But the proof (Bayyinah) lies on the one who is making the claim, and the other (Yamin) must be taken by the one who rejects the claim."
