Hadith 770
۞
Hadith.3887 - He wrote to Imam (as) regarding a man who made another person a witness that he had sold an estate to another man. The estate consisted of several plots of land, but the boundaries were not specified at the time the witness was called.
The seller then said: "When they bring you the boundaries, testify to them."
The question was whether it was permissible for the witness to testify in such a case.
Imam (as) responded: "Yes, it is permissible, and all praise is due to Allah (swt)."
3887 - وَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ فِي رَجُلٍ يُشْهِدُهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ بَاعَ ضَيْعَةً مِنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ وَ هِيَ قِطَاعُ أَرَضِينَ وَ لَمْ يُعَرِّفِ اَلْحُدُودَ فِي وَقْتِ مَا أَشْهَدَهُ وَ قَالَ إِذَا أَتَوْكَ بِالْحُدُودِ فَاشْهَدْ بِهَا هَلْ يَجُوزُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ لاَ يَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "نَعَمْ يَجُوزُ وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ".
