اسْتِخْرَاجُ الْحُقُوقِ بِأَرْبَعَةِ وُجُوهٍ بِشَهَادَةِ رَجُلَيْنِ عَدْلَيْنِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَجُلَيْنِ عَدْلَيْنِ فَرَجُلٌ وَ امْرَأَتَانِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنِ امْرَأَتَانِ فَرَجُلٌ وَ يَمِينُ الْمُدَّعِي فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَاهِدٌ فَالْيَمِينُ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَحْلِفْ [وَ] رَدَّ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى الْمُدَّعِي فَهُوَ وَاجِبٌ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَحْلِفَ وَ يَأْخُذَ حَقَّهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى أَنْ يَحْلِفَ فَلَا شَيْءَ لَهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from the one who reported it, He<sup>asws</sup> said, ‘The extraction of the rights is by four ways – by the testimony of two just men; so if there do not happen to be two just men, so one man and two women. So if there do not happen to be two women, so a man and an oath of the claimant. So if there does not happen to be a witness, so the swearing of the oath is upon the defendant. So if he were not to swear, and return the oath upon the claimant, so it is obligatory upon him that he swears, and takes his right. But if he refuses to swear, so there is nothing for him’.
