Bayhaqi 20497 — What is done with a false witness

وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حُصَيْنٍ: " أَنَّ شُرَيْحًا كَانَ يُؤْتَى بِشَاهِدِ الزُّورِ، فَيَطُوفُ بِهِ فِي أَهْلِ مَسْجِدِهِ وَسُوقِهِ فَيَقُولُ: " إِنَّا قَدْ زَيَّفْنَا شَهَادَةَ هَذَا ".
Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from Abu Husayn (may Allah have mercy on him) that whenever a false witness was brought to Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him), he would have him paraded around the market and the mosque and say: "We have declared this man's testimony void."
