2299. Ayman bin Khuraim narrated that the Prophet ﷺ stood to give a Khutbah and said: "O you people! False witness is tantamount to Shirk with Allāh" Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ recited: So shun the Rijs of the idols, and shun false speech..[1] (Da'if)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is [Gharīb], we only know of it as a narration of Sufyān bin Ziyād. They differed in reporting this Hadīth from Sufyān bin Ziyād, and we do not know that Ayman bin Khuraim heard from the Prophet ﷺ.

Commentary
Untruth is common to both, false-witnessing and polytheism. Since, if ascribing partners to Allāh is an act of falsehood, so is false-witnessing. Thus, in essence, both are the same, although polytheism is a falsehood of much greater proportion.
