أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنِ الذِّمِّيِّ وَ الْعَبْدِ يُشْهَدَانِ عَلَى شَهَادَةٍ ثُمَّ يُسْلِمُ الذِّمِّيُّ وَ يُعْتَقُ الْعَبْدُ أَ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُمَا عَلَى مَا كَانَا أُشْهِدَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا عُلِمَ مِنْهُمَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ جَازَتْ شَهَادَتُهُمَا.

Hadith.3355 - Al-Ala narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim: He said: I asked Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a dhimmi (non-Muslim under Islamic protection) and a slave who bore witness to a testimony. Then the dhimmi embraced Islam and the slave was emancipated, would their testimony about what they were made witnesses to before be valid? Imam (as) said: "Yes, if goodness is known from them afterward, their testimony is valid."
