Hadith #2

وَ رَوَى غِيَاثُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ لاَ يُجِيزُ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلٍ عَلَى شَهَادَةِ رَجُلٍ إِلاَّ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلَيْنِ عَلَى شَهَادَةِ رَجُلٍ".

Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq from his father Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir : "Indeed, Imam Ali would not validate the testimony of one man based on the testimony of another man, except if there were two men testifying based on testimony of one man."
