Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Musa Bin Ja’far Al Baghdady, from Ja’far Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Abdul Rahman, from Al Husayn Bin Zayd, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, from his^asws father^asws having said: ‘They came to Umar Bin Al-Khattab with Qudama Bin Maz’oun, and he had drunk the wine. So two men testified against him, one of them was a eunuch (castrated) and he was Amro Al-Tameemy, and the one one was Al-Moalla Bin Al-Jaroud. So, one of them testified that he had seen him drinking, and the other one testified that he had seen him throwing out the wine. So Umar sent for some people from the companions of Rasool-Allah^saww among them was Amir Al-Momineen^asws. So he said to Amir Al-Momineen^asws, ‘What are you^asws saying, O Abu Al-Hassan^asws, for you^asws are the one regarding whom Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘You^asws are the knowledgeable one of this community, and its judge, with the truth’. So these two have differed in their testimonies’. He^asws said: ‘There is no differing in both their testimonies, and he could not have chucked it until he had drunk it (first)’. So he said, ‘Is the testimony of the eunuch (castrated) is allowed?’ He^asws said: ‘His losing his beard is just like the loss of certain parts of his body’
