Hadeeth 33
On the authority of Ibn Abbas (may
Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) said:
Were people to be given everything that
they claimed, men would [unjustly] claim the wealth and lives of [other]
people. But, the onus of proof is upon the claimant, and the taking of an oath
is upon him who denies.
A hasan hadeeth narrated by al-Baihaqee
and others in this form, and part of it is in the two Saheehs.
