Chapter on Refraining From Testimony, What Has Been Mentioned About Establishing it, Emphasizing it, and Concealing it
وَ رَوَى عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ يَكُونُ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنْ إِخْوَانِي عِنْدِي اَلشَّهَادَةُ لَيْسَ كُلُّهَا تُجِيزُهَا اَلْقُضَاةُ عِنْدَنَا قَالَ "إِذَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا حَقٌّ فَصَحِّحْهَا بِكُلِّ وَجْهٍ حَتَّى يَصِحَّ لَهُ حَقُّهُ".
It is narrated from Uthman ibn Isa, from some of our companions, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام. I said to Imam عليه السلام, "A man from my brothers has a testimony with me, but not all of it is admissible by the judges here." Imam عليه السلام said: "If you know that it is true, then validate it in every possible way so that his right is established."
