Chapter on Precaution in Giving Testimony

778. hadíth

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْمَاضِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يُشْهِدُنِي هَؤُلاَءِ عَلَى إِخْوَانِي قَالَ "نَعَمْ أَقِمِ اَلشَّهَادَةَ لَهُمْ وَ إِنْ خِفْتَ عَلَى أَخِيكَ ضَرَراً ".

It is narrated from Ali ibn Suwayd, who said: I said to Abu al-Hasan al-Madhi (a.s) (Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (a.s)): "These people call me to testify against my brothers." Imam (a.s) said: 'Yes, establish the testimony for them, even if you fear harm for your brother.'"
