6. False Testimony
Back to book1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ مِيثَمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَشْهَدُ بِشَهَادَةِ زُورٍ عَلَى مَالِ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ لِيَقْطَعَهُ إِلا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ مَكَانَهُ صَكّاً إِلَى النَّارِ.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban ‘Uthman from a man from Salih ibn Mitham who has narrated the following: “Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Whoever presents a false testimony against the assets of a Muslim man to cut off his ownership, for such witnessing Allah writes a certificate for him to the fire.’”

2- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ شَاهِدُ الزُّورِ لا تَزُولُ قَدَمَاهُ حَتَّى تَجِبَ لَهُ النَّارُ.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If one presents a false testimony, his feet do not move before the fire is made obligatory for him.’”

3- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الأحْمَرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) لا يَنْقَضِي كَلامُ شَاهِدِ الزُّورِ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيِ الْحَاكِمِ حَتَّى يَتَبَوَّأَ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَكَذَلِكَ مَنْ كَتَمَ الشَّهَادَةَ.
3. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Bandar has narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Ahmar from ‘Abd Allah ibn Hammad from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has pronounced this Hadith. ‘The words of one who presents false testimony do not end before the judge, until his seat is filled up with the fire; and so also is the case of one who hides a testimony/”
