عَنْ أَيْمَنَ بْنِ خُرَيْمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عُدِلَتْ شَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ إِشْرَاكًا بِاللَّهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ فَاجْتَنِبُوا الرِّجْسَ مِنَ الْأَوْثَانِ وَاجْتَنِبُوا قَوْلَ الزُّورِ [الحج 30] ¤
Ayman bin Khuraym (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us and said: O people! False testimony has been equated with associating partners with Allah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this statement three times and then recited this verse: So avoid the filth of idols and avoid false speech.
