Chapter: Severe warning regarding false testimony
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 6437 — Severe warning regarding false testimony
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْكَبَائِرَ أَوْ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْكَبَائِرِ فَقَالَ الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَقَالَ أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ قَالَ قَوْلُ الزُّورِ أَوْ قَالَ شَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَكْبَرُ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ قَالَ شَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself mentioned the major sins or someone asked him about them. In any case, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Associating partners with Allah, killing a soul, and disobeying parents. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not inform you of the greatest of sins? And that is false speech or giving false testimony. Imam Shu’bah says: I am more inclined to think that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke about giving false testimony.
