A man from the tribe of Banu Sahm set out on a journey with Tamim Dari and Adi bin Bada. The man from Banu Sahm died in a land where no Muslim was present. When the two returned with his estate, the family found that a silver cup plated with gold was missing. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made them swear an oath. Later, the cup was discovered in Makkah, and the people who had it said, "We bought it from Tamim and Adi."Then two men from among the deceased's relatives stood up and swore, "Our testimony is more deserving of acceptance than their testimony" [Maidah 5:107], and that the cup belonged to their kinsman.The narrator said, "It was concerning them that this verse was revealed, 'You who believe, when death approaches one of you, let there be testimony among you'" [Maidah 5:106].
و قال لي علي بن عبد الله حدثنا يحيى بن آدم حدثنا ابن أبي زائدة عن محمد بن أبي القاسم عن عبد الملك بن سعيد بن جبير عن أبيه
خرج رجل من بني سهم مع تميم الداري وعدي بن بداء فمات السهمي بأرض ليس بها مسلم فلما قدما بتركته فقدوا جاما من فضة مخوصا من ذهب فأحلفهما رسول الله ﷺ ثم وجد الجام بمكة فقالوا ابتعناه من تميم وعدي فقام رجلان من أوليائه فحلفا {لشهادتنا أحق من شهادتهما} وإن الجام لصاحبهم قال وفيهم نزلت هذه الآية {يا أيها الذين آمنوا شهادة بينكم إذا حضر أحدكم الموت}
