Hazrat Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) considered the testimony of a blind person to be valid.

Hazrat Aamir (may Allah have mercy on him) says that if a blind person is just, then his testimony is acceptable.

Hazrat Qatadah, who was blind, gave testimony before Hazrat Iyas bin Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), but he (may Allah be pleased with him) rejected his testimony.

Hazrat Mughira (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) about the testimony of a blind person. He (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated a hadith to me; I think that he disliked it.

Hazrat Hakam bin Utaybah was asked from Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) whether it is permissible for a blind person to give testimony and lead (the prayer as) imam? So he replied: What thing prevents a blind person from giving testimony and leading (the prayer as) imam?

Hazrat Shurayh did not consider it objectionable that 'Ata was sold in exchange for goods. Hazrat Sha'bi did not consider it absolutely disliked.

22242 - He said: And Al-Sha'bi said: It is not to be bought (with goods) (1) nor with anything else.

According to Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), the sale of 'Ata' (unmeasured produce) other than goods is disliked.

Sha'bi was asked about selling with an increase in 'Ataa (stipend), so he replied: I neither command it nor forbid it; I prevent myself and my children from it. The leaders of the Muslims have done it, and they were better than me.

Bakr bin Uthman narrates that I used to sell the excess of payment (ziyada) in exchange for silk and dirhams in Khurasan. One year I performed Hajj and asked Hazrat Salim about this matter, and he replied that there is no harm in it if it is with goods. However, I consider it disliked with dirhams. Hazrat Muhammad bin Ka'b and Hazrat Ata also gave the same answer. I also asked Hasan and Hazrat Ibn Sirin, and they said that we consider it disliked with dirhams, but there is no harm if it is with goods.
