Hadith 193
۞
Hadith.3336 - Ali ibn Matar narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who reported from Abu Abdullah (as), that Imam (as) said
"False witnesses are subjected to a punishment of flogging, the duration of which is determined by the Imam. They are paraded so that people recognize them." Allah (swt), the Almighty, says: 'And do not accept their testimony ever, and those are the defiantly disobedient-except for those who repent.' (Surah An-Nur 24:4-5)
I asked: 'How is their repentance recognized?'
Imam (as) said: 'He must publicly declare his falsehood before the witnesses where he was punished, and seek forgiveness from his Lord (azj), the Almighty. If he does this, then his repentance becomes evident.'"
3336 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَطَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"إِنَّ شُهُودَ اَلزُّورِ يُجْلَدُونَ حَدّاً لَيْسَ لَهُ وَقْتٌ ذَلِكَ إِلَى اَلْإِمَامِ وَ يُطَافُ بِهِمْ حَتَّى يَعْرِفَهُمُ اَلنَّاسُ وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ،
وَ لاٰ تَقْبَلُوا لَهُمْ شَهٰادَةً أَبَداً وَ أُولٰئِكَ هُمُ اَلْفٰاسِقُونَ إِلاَّ اَلَّذِينَ تٰابُوا "
قُلْتُ بِمَ تُعْرَفُ تَوْبَتُهُ قَالَ "يُكَذِّبُ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى رُءُوسِ اَلْأَشْهَادِ حَيْثُ يُضْرَبُ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنْ هُوَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَثَمَّ ظَهَرَتْ تَوْبَتُهُ".
