If one Agrees with an Oath that is Taken, it Dismisses his Claim even if he has Testimony

إِذَا رَضِيَ صَاحِبُ الْحَقِّ بِيَمِينِ الْمُنْكِرِ لِحَقِّهِ فَاسْتَحْلَفَهُ فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا حَقَّ لَهُ قِبَلَهُ ذَهَبَتِ الْيَمِينُ بِحَقِّ الْمُدَّعِي فَلَا دَعْوَى لَهُ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ عَادِلَةٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ إِنْ أَقَامَ بَعْدَ مَا اسْتَحْلَفَهُ بِاللَّهِ خَمْسِينَ قَسَامَةً مَا كَانَ لَهُ وَ كَانَتِ الْيَمِينُ قَدْ أَبْطَلَتْ كُلَّ مَا ادَّعَاهُ قَبْلَهُ مِمَّا قَدِ اسْتَحْلَف
