وقال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: لا تجوز شهادة خائن ولا خائنة ولا ذي حقد ولا ذي غمر على أخيه ولا ظنين في ولاء ولا قرابة ولا القانع مع أهل البيت لهم.

<p class='libAr' dir='rtl'>أما الخيانة فإنها تدخل في أشياء كثيرة سوى الخيانة في المال ، منها: أن يؤتمن على فرج فلا يودي فيها الأمانة. ومنها: أن يستودع سرا يكون إن أفشاه فيه عطب المستودع أو فيه شينه. ومنها: أن يؤتمن على حكم بين اثنين أو فوقها فلا يعدل. ومنها: أن يغل من المغنم شيئا . ومنها: أن يكتم شهادة. ومنها: أن يستشار فيشير بخلاف. الصواب تعمدا وأشباه ذلك. والغمر: الشحناء والعداوة. وأما الظنين في الولاء والقرابة فالذي يتهم بالدعاوة إلى غير أبيه أو المتولي [إلى] غير مواليه، وقد يكون أن يتهم في شهادته لقريبه. والظنين أيضا المتهم في دينه. وأما القانع مع أهل البيت لهم فالرجل يكون مع قوم في حاشيتهم كالخادم لهم والتابع والأجير ونحوه. و أصل القنوع الرجل يكون مع الرجل يطلب فضله ويسأله معروفه بقول فهذا يطلب معاشه من هؤلاء فلا تجوز شهادته لهم، قال الله تعالى: " فكلوا منها وأطعموا القانع والمعتر " فالقانع: الذي يقنع بما تعطيه ويسأل، المعتر الذي يتعرض ولا يسأل، - ويقال: من هذا القنوع: قنع يقنع قنوعا -. وأما القانع الراضي بما أعطاه الله عز وجل فليس من ذلك - يقال: منه قنعت أقنع قناعة. وهذا بكسر النون وذلك بفتحها، وذاك من القنوع وهذا من القناعة -.As for betrayal, it enters into many things other than betrayal with regards to property, among which is: that one is entrusted with a female and does not fulfil the trust; also, that one is entrusted with a secret which if one discloses, it brings about the perishing of the entruster or disgrace to him; also, that one is entrusted to judge between two, or (to judge) above them, and one does not execute justice; also, that one betrays with regards to something of booty; also, that one conceals a testimony; also, that one is consulted and purposely guides to the contrary of what is right; and the likes of that. Enmity is grudge and hostility. As for the one who is dubious with regards to allegiance and kinship, it is the one who is accused of calling to other than his father or who pledges allegiance to other than his masters. It might also be that he is accused that his testimony is (done) in favor of his relative. The dubious is also the one who is accused with regards to his religion. As for the one who is needy and is with a household, it is a man who is with a people among their dependants like a servant to them, a follower, an employee and similar. The root of being needy is a man who is with another man, seeks his virtue and asks for his good act with saying. Hence, this person seeks his livelihood from those people, and his testimony in favor of them is impermissible. Allah, Exalted is He, said: «then eat from it and feed the needy and the beggar» (22:36). The needy is the one who is content with what you give him, and he asks, whereas the beggar is the one who suddenly approaches, and he does not ask. It is said that from here stems (the meaning of) the content : That one has been content , is being content and is a content (individual) . As for the content, the one pleased with what Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, has given him, he is not of that. It is said: From him, I was content , I am content in a (state of) contentment . This one is with a genitive Nun, and that one is with an accusative; this one is with regards to being content, and that one is with regards to contentment.
