Yahya bin Abu Ishaq reports that I heard Salim bin Abdullah saying: When a group from Banu Laith got ready to take the oath the next day concerning the matter of Qasamah, he said: O servants of Allah! The people of the tribe will take oaths about something they neither saw, nor were present for, nor were witnesses to. And if I had authority in this matter, I would punish them, or he said: I would give them an exemplary punishment, or I would make them an example, and I would not accept their testimony.
