Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 30
وَ رَوَى غِيَاثُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "لاَ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةٌ عَلَى شَهَادَةٍ فِي حَدٍّ وَ لاَ كَفَالَةٌ فِي حَدٍّ".
Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام: Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "Testimony upon testimony is not valid in cases involving prescribed punishments (hudud), nor is sponsorship (kafalah) valid in cases involving prescribed punishments."
