أدَبُ الشَّهادَةِ The Etiquette of Giving Testimony

11ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) ـ وقد سُئلَ عن الشهادَةِ ـ: هل تَرَى الشمسَ ؟ على مِثلِها فَاشهَدْ أو دَعْ.

11– The Prophet (SAWA) was once asked about bearing witness, to which he replied, ‘Do you witness the sun? Thus must you bear witness or else do not.’[Wasael al-Shi`aah , v. 18, p. 250, no. 3]
 

12ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا تَشهَدَنَّ بشهادَةٍ حتّى تَعرِفَها كما تَعرِفُ كَفَّكَ.

13– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Do not ever bear witness to something unless you know it like the back of your hand.’[al-Kafi, v. 7, p. 383, no. 3]
