כְּשֵׁם שֶׁאָמְרוּ הַפּוֹגֶמֶת כְּתֻבָּתָהּ לֹא תִפָּרַע אֶלָּא בִשְׁבוּעָה; וְעֵד אֶחָד מְעִידָהּ שֶׁהִיא פְרוּעָה לֹא תִפָּרַע אֶלָּא בִשְׁבוּעָה; מִנְּכָסִים מְשֻׁעְבָּדִים וּמִנִּכְסֵי יְתוֹמִים לֹא תִפָּרַע אֶלָּא בִשְׁבוּעָה; וְהַנִּפְרַעַת שֶׁלֹּא בְפָנָיו לֹא תִפָּרַע אֶלָּא בִשְׁבוּעָה — וְכֵן הַיְתוֹמִים לֹא יִפָּרְעוּ אֶלָּא בִשְׁבוּעָה: ,,שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא פְקָדָנוּ אַבָּא, וְלֹא אָמַר לָנוּ אַבָּא, וְשֶׁלֹּא מָצִינוּ בֵּין שְׁטָרוֹתָיו שֶׁל אַבָּא שֶׁשְּׁטָר זֶה פָּרוּעַ”. רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן בֶּן בְּרוֹקָה אוֹמֵר: אֲפִלּוּ נוֹלַד הַבֵּן לְאַחַר מִיתַת הָאָב — הֲרֵי זֶה נִשְׁבָּע וְנוֹטֵל. אָמַר רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל: אִם יֵשׁ עֵדִים שֶׁאָמַר הָאָב בִּשְׁעַת מִיתָתוֹ: ,,שְׁטָר זֶה אֵינוֹ פָרוּעַ” — הוּא נוֹטֵל שֶׁלֹּא בִשְׁבוּעָה.
Just as they said [that] a woman who impairs her kesubah is not paid except with an oath; and [that] one against whom a sin-gle witness testifies that it is paid is not paid except with an oath; [and that] from mortgaged property or from the property of orphans, she is not paid except with an oath; and [that] one who receives payment in his absence is not paid except with an oath —- so too orphans are not paid except with an oath [viz.]: “We swear that our father did not enjoin us, neither did our father tell us, nor have we found among our father's documents that this note is paid.” R' Yochanan ben Berokah says: Even if the son is born after the father's death —- he swears and collects. Said Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel: If there are witnesses that the father said at the time of his death, “This note is not paid” —- he collects without an oath.
