2372 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الْعُصْفُرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ الْأَسَدِيِّ، عَنْ خُرَيْمِ بْنِ فَاتِكٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ، قَالَ: صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصُّبْحَ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَامَ قَائِمًا، فَقَالَ: «عُدِلَتْ شَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ بِالْإِشْرَاكِ بِاللَّهِ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَاجْتَنِبُوا قَوْلَ الزُّورِ حُنَفَاءَ لِلَّهِ غَيْرَ مُشْرِكِينَ بِهِ} [الحج: 31]

Commentary

Bearing false witness is a major sin. There are several authentic Ahādīth concerning this issue. The three sins that the noble Prophet ﷺ declared 'the worst of the major sins' are: "Associating partners with Allāh, disobeying parents and bearing false witness." (See Sahih Al-Bukhārī, The Testimonies, Chapter: What is mentioned concerning the false oath) [1] Al-Hajj 22:30-31.
