وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( صلوات الله عليه ) كَانَ يَحْكُمُ فِي زِنْدِيقٍ إِذَا شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلَانِ عَدْلَانِ مَرْضِيَّانِ وَ شَهِدَ لَهُ أَلْفٌ بِالْبَرَاءَةِ جَازَتْ شَهَادَةُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَ أَبْطَلَ شَهَادَةَ الْأَلْفِ لِأَنَّهُ دِينٌ مَكْتُومٌ .
Translation
And by this chain, ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> had judged regarding an atheist when two just, acceptable witnesses testify against him, they testify for him a thousand with the freeing him. He<sup>asws</sup> allowed the testimony of two men and invalidated the testimonies of a thousand because it is an undisclosed religion’.
