حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَی الْمِصْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَوْ يُعْطَی النَّاسُ بِدَعْوَاهُمْ ادَّعَی نَاسٌ دِمَائَ رِجَالٍ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَلَکِنْ الْيَمِينُ عَلَی الْمُدَّعَی عَلَيْهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2321
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah said: "If the people were given what they claimed, some would have claimed the lives and property of men. But the one the claim is made against is obliged to swear an oath.'
