Chapter: Severe warning regarding false testimony
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 6435 — Severe warning regarding false testimony
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ شَهِدَ عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ شَهَادَةً لَيْسَ لَهَا بِأَهْلٍ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever gives such testimony against a Muslim for which that Muslim is not deserving, then such a person should prepare his abode in Hell.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The meaning of this hadith is that testimony is given regarding a Muslim that he is a fasiq (open sinner) or an evildoer, while in reality he is free from such things.
