حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَیُّوبَ عَنْ سَمَاعَهَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ:
شُهُودُ الزُّورِ یُجْلَدُونَ جَلْداً لَیْسَ لَهُ وَقْتٌ وَ ذَلِکَ إِلَی الْإِمَامِ یُطَافُ عَلَیْهِمْ حَتَّی یُعْرَفُوا فَلَا یَعُودُوا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ وَ إِنْ تَابُوا وَ أَصْلَحُوا تُقْبَلُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ بَعْدَهُ قَالَ إِذَا تَابُوا تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ قُبِلَتْ شَهَادَتُهُمْ.
4. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Muhammad b. al-Hussain b. Abi al-Khattab from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Ayoob’ from Sama’a b. Mihran from Abi Abdillah 
who said:
“The punishment of false testimony is lashing and its number will be as per the will of Imam. In addition to this the person should be made to go round the city so that people recognize him and that the person does not commit this sin once again.” Imam was asked whether his testimony can be accepted if he repents and decides not to commit the sin once again. Imam replied, “If he repents and Allah accepts his repentance, the person’s testimony is acceptable.”
