أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ
شَاهِدُ الزُّورِ لَا تَزَالُ قَدَمَاهُ حَتَّی تَجِبَ لَهُ النَّارُ.

مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ شَهِدَ شَهَادَهَ زُورٍ عَلَی مَالِ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ لِیَقْطَعَهُ إِلَّا کَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ مَکَانَهُ ضَنْکاً إِلَی النَّارِ.

Hadith 873
3. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who testifies falsely and as a result of which a Muslim’s blood is shed or his wealth is usurped, the testifier will be brought on the Day of Judgment with his face having blackness spread everywhere and having scratches on it. People will know him with his name and lineage. One who testifies truthfully and saves the right of another Muslim, his face will be brightened on the Day of Judgment with its light spreading everywhere on the Day of Judgment. He will also be known to the people with name and lineage. Did you not hear the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: and give upright testimony for Allah?”
