1444. 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar radiyallahu anhu  narrated that the Messenger of Allah Sallalahu aleihi wa  said, "It is not allowable to accept the testimony of a treacherous man or a woman, or of one who harbors a grudge against his brother, or the servant of a family (to testify) for members of this family."

1445. Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu narrated, 'He heard the Messenger of Allah Sallalahu aleihi wa  say, "The testimony of a desert man against the dweller of a village (or a town) is not allowed."(434) Related by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah.

434. The reason is that the nomads are not familiar with the circumstances of the village and city dwellers, so they are not allowed to testify against them. In this case the testimony of another city dweller is more acceptable. Nevertheless if the nomad is more informed about the relevant case than anybody else then his testimoney is acceptable provided he is just.

Umar Ibn Al-Khattab radiyallahu anhu addressed the people saying, 'People were sometimes judged by the revelation of a Divine Inspiration during the lifetime of the Prophet Sallalahu aleihi wa  but now there is no longer any more (new revelations).
