False Testimony
Contents > Guarding the Tongue > False Testimony
Qawol uz-Zoor - You must know not to give false testimony. Allah says,
“All this [is ordained by Allah]; and if one honours Allah’s sacred commandments, it will redound to his own good in his Sustainer’s sight. And all [kinds of] cattle have been made lawful to you [for sacrifice and food], save what is mentioned to you [as forbidden]. So keep distance from the loathsome evil of idols; and keep away from false testimony.” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Hajj, 22: 30
Abu Bakrah (ra) narrated that
“The Prophet (saw) said thrice, "Shall I not inform you of the biggest of the great sins?" We said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle" He said, "To join partners in worship with Allah to be undutiful to one's parents." The Prophet sat up after he had been reclining and added, "And I warn you against giving forged statement and a false witness; I warn you against giving a forged statement (Qawol al-Zoor) and a false witness (Shahaadat ul-Zoor)." The Prophet kept on saying that warning till we thought that he would not stop.” Saheeh al-Bukhari
