The Chapters on Testimonies from Sunan Ibn Majah

2362 Abdullah bin Masud said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) was asked, Which of the people are best? He said: My generation, then those that follow them, then those that follow them. Then there will come people whose testimony precedes their oath and whose oath precedes their testimony. (Sahih) 2363 It was narrated that Jabir bin Samurah said: Umar bin Khattab addressed us at Jabiyah and said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) stood up among us as I stand among you, and said: Honor my Companions for my sake, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then lying will prevail until a man will give testimony without being asked to do so, and he will swear an oath without being asked to do so. (Sahih) 2364 Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani said that he heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: The best of witnesses is the one who gives his testimony before he is asked for it. (Sahih) 2365 It was narrated that Abu Saeed Al-Khudri recited this Verse: O you who believe! When you contract a debt for a fixed period... until: then if one of you entrusts the other. [2:282-283] Then he said: This abrogates what came before. (Hasan) 2366 It was narrated from Amr bin Shuaib from his father that his grandfather said that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: The testimony of a man or woman who is treacherous, or of one who has been subjected to one of the Hadd punishments of Islam, or of one who bears a grudge against his brother, is not permissible. (Daif) 2367 It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that he heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: The testimony of a Bedouin against a town-dweller is not permissible. (Sahih) 2368 It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) passed judgment on the basis of an oath (from the claimant) along with a (single) witness. [This is in the absence of two witnesses.] (Sahih) 2369 It was narrated from Jabir that the Prophet (saw) passed judgment on the basis of an oath (from the claimant) along with a (single) witness.

2372 It was narrated that Khuraim bin Fatik Al-Asadi said that the Prophet (saw) prayed the Morning prayer, and when he had finished, he stood up and said: Bearing false witness is equivalent to associating others with Allah, three time.
