The Authenticity of the Hadith: If People Were Given What They Claim

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the degree of authenticity of the hadith: "If people were given what they claim, people would claim the blood and wealth of men"?

Answer:
The hadith is authentic. It was narrated by the two Shaykhs in al-Bukhari and Muslim in the two Sahihs.
If people were given what they claim, people would claim the blood and wealth of others, but the oath is on the one against whom the claim is made.لو أعطى الناس بدعواهم لأدعى الناس بدماء أموالهم ولكن يمين على المدعى عليه
It is agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. In my opinion, there is another narration outside the two Sahihs, from al-Bahili and others: "The proof is on the claimant, and the oath is on the one who denies." In the two Sahihs, there is a witness who is forced to take an oath. There must be evidence; people are not given what they claim. Not everything is given based on their claims. Even if he is pious, even if he is good, there must be evidence. Yes.
