Muwatta Malik #1487
Judgements
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، كَتَبَ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ عَامِلٌ عَلَى الْكُوفَةِ أَنِ اقْضِ بِالْيَمِينِ مَعَ الشَّاهِدِ .
From Malik from Abu'z-Zinad that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz wrote to
Abd al-Hamid ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn al-Khattab who was the
governor of Kufa, "Pronounce judgement on the basis of an oath with
one witness."
