النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَفِ بْنِ طَارِقٍ الرَّازِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

لَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ خَائِنٍ ، وَلَا خَائِنَةٍ ، وَلَا زَانٍ ، وَلَا زَانِيَةٍ ، وَلَا ذِي غِمْرٍ عَلَى أَخِيهِ
