3365 - وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "أَوَّلُ شَهَادَةٍ شُهِدَ بِهَا بِالزُّورِ فِي اَلْإِسْلاَمِ شَهَادَةُ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلاً حِينَ اِنْتَهَوْا إِلَى مَاءِ اَلْحَوْأَبِ فَنَبَحَتْهُمْ كِلاَبُهَا فَأَرَادَتْ صَاحِبَتُهُمُ اَلرُّجُوعَ وَ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُولُ لِأَزْوَاجِهِ "إِنَّ إِحْدَاكُنَّ تَنْبَحُهَا كِلاَبُ اَلْحَوْأَبِ ، فِي اَلتَّوَجُّهِ إِلَى قِتَالِ وَصِيِّي، عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ " فَشَهِدَ عِنْدَهَا سَبْعُونَ رَجُلاً أَنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ بِمَاءِ اَلْحَوْأَبِ فَكَانَتْ أَوَّلَ شَهَادَةٍ شُهِدَ بِهَا فِي اَلْإِسْلاَمِ بِالزُّورِ".

Hadith.3365 - Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "The first false testimony given in Islam was the testimony of seventy men when they reached the water of Haw'ab, and its dogs barked at them. The woman among them intended to return and said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) say to his wives: One of you will be barked at by the dogs of Haw'ab while heading to fight my successor, Ali ibn Abi Talib (as).' Then seventy men testified before her that it was not the water of Haw'ab. This was the first false testimony given in Islam."
