2 hadiths1. حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِکِ بْنِ عَطِیَّهَ عَنْ أَبِی عُبَیْدَهَ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ فِی کِتَابِ عَلِیٍّ ع ثَلَاثُ خِصَالٍ لَا یَمُوتُ صَاحِبُهُنَّ أَبَداً حَتَّی یَرَی وَبَالَهُنَّ الْبَغْیُ وَ قَطِیعَهُ الرَّحِمِ وَ الْیَمِینُ الْکَاذِبَهُ یُبَادِرُ اللَّهُ بِهَا.
1. Narrated to me Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil: He said, narrated to me Abdullah ibn Ja'far al-Himyari, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Malik ibn Atiyyah, from Abu Ubaydah al-Hudhayfa, from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام says: "[It has been mentioned] in the book of 'Ali عليه السلام three qualities, whoever has them will not die until he sees its bad consequences. They are oppression, breaking relations, and false testimony, for which Allah will promptly hold the individual accountable."
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ الْمِیثَمِیِّ عَنْ بَشِیرٍ الدَّهَّانِ عَمَّنْ ذَکَرَهُ عَنْ مِیثَمٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ لَا أُنِیلُ رَحْمَتِی مَنْ تَعَرَّضَ الأیمان [لِلْأَیْمَانِ] الْکَاذِبَهِ وَ لَا أُدْنِی مِنِّی مَنْ کَانَ زَانِیاً.
2. The Almighty Allah says: “My mercy will not reach one who testifies falsely and a fornicator will not come near Me on the Day of Judgment.”
