Muhammad bin al-Furat narrates: Two men brought their case before Muharib. The narrator says: A man gave testimony against one of them, and the one against whom testimony was given said: By Allah, as far as I know, he is a truthful man, and if you were to inquire about him, he would be praised and his goodness would be mentioned; but he has given false testimony against me, and I cannot work out what has emboldened him to do this. So Muharib bin Dithar said to that man: O man, fear Allah Almighty, for I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The feet of a false witness will not move from their place before Hell becomes obligatory for him; and on the Day of Resurrection the bird will beat its wings and throw out what is in its belly, though it has no need (of it)." The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was at that time admonishing a man. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Ibn Majah narrated the incident of the false witness.
Abu Ya'la recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it from that Companion in abridged form, except that he recorded these words: "The birds will throw out what is in their bellies, though they will have committed no wrong." (The following words are perhaps those of Muharib bin Dithar:) So beware of it (false testimony). Its chain contains a narrator, Muhammad bin al-Furat, who is a kadhdhab (liar).
