And testimony [has been prescribed] as a means of overcoming denials.
والشَّهادَةَ اِسْتِظْهاراً عَلَى المُجاحَداتِ۔
—Ghurar al-Hikam
—غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم
One who gives false testimony for you will give a similar testimony against you.
مَنْ شَهِدَ لَكَ بِالباطِلِ شَهِدَ عَلَيْكَ بِمِثْلِهِ۔
—Ghurar al-Hikam
—غُرَرُ الحِکَم و دُرَرُ الکَلِم
There is no good in the testimony of the treacherous.
لاخَيْرَ في شَهادَةِ خائِن۔
—Ghurar al-Hikam
