5. My father said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Safwan from al-’Ala from Muhammad b. Muslim from Abi Abdillah who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq was asked how a false testifier should repent. He replied,

“The person should recompense the loss of wealth because of his false testimony. If the victim has lost one third of his wealth, it should be repaid. If he has lost half of his wealth, the same should be repaid and if the loss is due to testimony of two persons, they both should repay it together.”
