Hadith.3358 - Amr ibn Jumay' narrated from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): Imam (as) said
"Let someone trustworthy bear witness to your testimony." They asked: 'May Allah (swt) keep you well, how can it increase or decrease?' Imam (as) replied: "No, but it should be someone who preserves it for you." Imam (as) also said: "It is not permissible to testify upon a testimony that is based on another testimony."
3358 - وَ رَوَى عَمْرُو بْنُ جُمَيْعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"أَشْهِدْ عَلَى شَهَادَتِكَ مَنْ يَنْصَحُكَ" قَالُوا أَصْلَحَكَ اَللَّهُ كَيْفَ يَزِيدُ وَ يَنْقُصُ قَالَ "لاَ وَ لَكِنْ مَنْ يَحْفَظُهَا عَلَيْكَ". وَ لَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةٌ عَلَى شَهَادَةٍ عَلَى شَهَادَةٍ.
