    فَإِنۡ عُثِرَ عَلَىٰٓ أَنَّهُمَا ٱسۡتَحَقَّآ إِثۡمٗا فَـَٔاخَرَانِ يَقُومَانِ مَقَامَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡأَوۡلَيَٰنِ فَيُقۡسِمَانِ بِٱللَّهِ لَشَهَٰدَتُنَآ أَحَقُّ مِن شَهَٰدَتِهِمَا وَمَا ٱعۡتَدَيۡنَآ إِنَّآ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

    Transliteration:( Fa in 'usira 'alaaa annahumas tahaqqaaa isman fa aakharaani yaqoomaani maqaamahumaa minal lazeenas tahaqqa 'alaihimul awlayaani fa yuqsimaani billaahi lashahaadatunaaa ahaqqu min shahaadatihimaaa wa ma'tadainaaa innaaa izal laminaz zaalimeen )

    107. Then if it is found that they have committed a sin [289], then two others should take their place from among those nearest to the deceased whose rights have been violated by this sin (false testimony). They should swear by Allah that our testimony is more truthful than the testimony of these two, and we have not overstepped [290]. If we did, then indeed we would be among the unjust [292]. (Kanzul Imaan Translation)

    (107) But if it is found that those two were guilty of sin [i.e., perjury], let two others stand in their place [who are] foremost [in claim] from those who have a lawful right. And let them swear by Allāh, "Our testimony is truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed. Indeed, we would then be of the wrongdoers." (Saheen International Translation)

The testimony of one person is sufficient to accept the sighting of the Ramadaan crescent, when the sky is overcast Sometimes one testimony and one place is deemed acceptable. Says Allah Almighty: "And a witness from the household of the woman bore witness." (S12:V26) 

    291 Thus when the bowl was recovered from Makkah Muazzama Hazrat Budail's two heirs swore an oath that it belongs to their legator and they are truthful in this matter. 

    292. From this, we learn that sometimes there can be two claimants  of a thing and it would be essential to establish the testimony of both.
