الحَثُّ عَلى أداءِ الشَّهادَةِ Enjoinment of Bearing Witness

3ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): مَن شَهِدَ شهادَةَ حَقٍّ لِيُحيِيَ بها حَقَّ امرِئٍ مُسلمٍ أتى يَومَ القِيامَةِ ولِوَجهِهِ نُورٌ مَدَّ البَصَرِ ، يَعرِفُهُ الخلايِقُ بِاسمِهِ ونَسَبِهِ .

3– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘He who bears witness in truth for the sake of restoring a fellow Muslim’s rights, will come on the Day of Resurrection with a light emanating from his face spreading as far as the eye can see, and all will know him by name and lineage.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 104, p. 311, no. 9]
 

4ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ أيضا ـ: لا يَنبَغِي لِأحَدٍ إذا ما دُعِيَ للشهادَةِ شَهِدَ علَيها أن يَقولَ: لا أشهَدُ لَكُم.
