Bearing False Witness

AIIah, Most High says; {Those who witness no falsehood and if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honorable (avoidance)} (AI-Furqan: 72)
{And shun the word that is false} (AI-Hajj: 30)

It was narrated that, “Bearing false witness is mentioned twice as equal as associating others with Allah (in the Qur’an)” (Reported by Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah)

(c) He oppressed the one who bore witness for him as he brought unlawful property to him and thus made him enter the Hell-Fire.”

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,” If I decide in favor of a person who is not entitled to the thing, I do not allow him but a piece of fire”. (Reported by Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, An-Nasa’i, and Ibn Majah) (i.e., the person receiving it will go to Hell.)
(d) He made what Allah forbids of property, blood, and honor permissible.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Shall I tell you of the worst major sins? Worshipping others with Allah, showing disrespect to parents, giving a false statement, and testifying to the truth of a falsehood. ” And he kept repeating it until we were telling ourselves (out of sympathy for him because of the strain of repeating it), ‘If only he would be silent”
