'Umar Requesting a Witness Along with al-Mughirah and Accepting the Report of a Single Narrator

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, did 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ask al-Mughirah to bring a man to testify with him, which indicates that the report of a single narrator is not accepted?

Answer:
No, it does not indicate that, because this is an incident, meaning only one person narrated it. So 'Umar wanted to be careful about it, because it is a matter of widespread concern, a matter of widespread concern. So the fact that one person is alone in narrating it requires caution. As for matters that are not of widespread concern, no, the report of a single person is accepted in them. Yes.
