3304 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ اَلْحُصَيْنِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ : "أَقِيمُوا اَلشَّهَادَةَ عَلَى اَلْوَالِدَيْنِ وَ اَلْوَلَدِ وَ لاَ تُقِيمُوهَا عَلَى اَلْأَخِ فِي اَلدِّيْنِ اَلضَّيْرَ" قُلْتُ وَ مَا اَلضَّيْرُ قَالَ "إِذَا تَعَدَّى فِيهِ صَاحِبُ اَلْحَقِّ اَلَّذِي يَدَّعِيهِ قِبَلَهُ خِلاَفَ مَا أَمَرَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ رَسُولُهُ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ مَثَلُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى آخَرَ دَيْنٌ وَ هُوَ مُعْسِرٌ وَ قَدْ أَمَرَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِإِنْظَارِهِ حَتَّى يَيْسَرَ فَقَالَ "فَنَظِرَةٌ إِلىٰ مَيْسَرَةٍ" وَ يَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُقِيمَ اَلشَّهَادَةَ وَ أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُهُ بِالْعُسْرِ فَلاَ يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تُقِيمَ اَلشَّهَادَةَ فِي حَالِ اَلْعُسْرِ".
Hadith.3304 - And it was narrated from Dawud ibn Al-Husayn who said: I heard Abu Abdullah 
, say: "Establish testimony against parents and children, but do not establish it against a brother in religion out of harm (al-ḍayr)."
I said: What is al-ḍayr?
Imam said: "It is when the claimant transgresses in demanding his right contrary to what Allah (swt), the Almighty, and His Messenger ﷺ have commanded. An example of this is when one man has a debt upon another who is in hardship, and Allah (swt), the Exalted, has commanded to grant him respite until ease, as He (swt) said: 'then a respite until ease.' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:280), Yet, he asks you to bear witness against him while you know he is in hardship. It is not permissible for you to establish the testimony during his state of hardship."
