Le Cas de Celui qui Témoigne, puis Se Rétracte

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Jamil who has narrated the following: “About the case of false testimony abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If the asset exists in its substance, it must be returned to its owner, but if it does not exist, then he is responsible for an amount equal to what is lost from the assets of the man.’”

Dans le cas d'un faux témoin, s'il voit de ses propres yeux ce qu'il prétend, il est renvoyé à son auteur, sinon il est condamné à payer une amende équivalente à ce qu'il a fait perdre à autrui de ses biens.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from certain persons of his people who has narrated the following: “This is about the case of four men who testify against al-Muhsin (married male) to have committed fornication; then one of them retracts his testimony after the man is executed. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If the fourth cites doubt, he is subjected to penalty, but if he says it was intentional then he is put to death.’”

Ils ont témoigné contre un homme marié pour adultère, puis l'un d'eux est revenu après que l'homme a été exécuté, disant : "S'il dit qu'il a été induit en erreur, il sera fouetté et devra payer une amende, mais s'il avoue, il sera tué."

5. Ibn Mahbub has narrated from Ibrahim ibn Nu’aym al-’Azdiy who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of four witnesses who testify against a man to have committed fornication and when he is executed, one of them retracts his testimony. He (the Imam) said, ‘The fourth one among them is executed and the other three must pay three-fourth of wergild to his family of the fourth witness.’”

"Que le quatrième soit exécuté et que les trois autres paient trois quarts du montant du sang à sa famille."

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil who has narrated the following: “About the case of false testimony abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If the asset exists, it must be returned to the owner, otherwise, equal to what of the assets of the man is lost must be paid to him.’”

...concernant le faux témoignage, si une chose est établie par son regard, il doit revenir sur son auteur, sinon il doit être estimé selon ce qui a été détruit des biens d'un homme.

7. Ibn abu ‘Umayr has narrated from Ibrahim ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid who has narrated the following: “About the case of two witnesses who testify for a woman that her husband has divorced her and she marries; but her husband comes and denies the divorce, he (the Imam) has said, ‘The two must be subjected to penalty and held responsible for the mahr (dower) in favor of the husband; then she is returned to the first husband.’”

concernant deux témoins ayant attesté contre une femme que son mari l'avait répudiée, puis elle s'est remariée et son premier mari est venu nier le divorce. Il a dit: "Les deux doivent être punis et la dot doit être restituée au premier mari, puis elle sera punie pour son acte et retournera à son premier mari."

8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Asem ibn Humayd from Muhammad ibn Qays who has narrated the following: “This is about the case of a man against whom two men had testified for theft, thus his hand was cut off and thereafter the two witnesses brought another man saying that this was the thief and not the one whose hand was cut off but we were only confused about it. Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said that ’ Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali, Alayhi al-Salam, issued a judgment. It required the two to pay one-half of the wergild and did not accept their testimony against the other man.’”

قَالَ قَضَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي رَجُلٍ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلانِ بِأَنَّهُ سَرَقَ فَقَطَعَ يَدَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ جَاءَ الشَّاهِدَانِ بِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ فَقَالا هَذَا السَّارِقُ وَلَيْسَ الَّذِي قَطَعْتَ يَدَهُ إِنَّمَا شَبَّهْنَا ذَلِكَ بِهَذَا فَقَضَى عَلَيهِمَا أَنْ غَرَّمَهُمَا نِصْفَ الدِّيَةِ وَلَمْ يُجِزْ شَهَادَتَهُمَا عَلَى الآخَرِ.
