شُهُودُ الزُّورِ يُجْلَدُونَ حَدّاً لَيْسَ لَهُ وَقْتٌ ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ وَ يُطَافُ بِهِمْ حَتَّى يُعْرَفُوا فَلَا يَعُودُوا قُلْتُ لَهُ فَإِنْ تَابُوا وَ أَصْلَحُوا تُقْبَلُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ بَعْدُ قَالَ إِذَا تَابُوا تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ قُبِلَتْ شَهَادَتُهُمْ بَعْدُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Sama’at who said, ‘The false testifiers would be whipped a Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>), there being no timing for it, that is up to the Imam<sup>asws</sup>, and they would be paraded with until they are recognised as such, so they would not repeat’. I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘So if they repent and be correct, would their testimonies be accepted afterwards?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When they repent, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Turn to them (with Mercy), and their testimonies would be accepted afterwards’.
