A kind of falsehood attributed to Allah (S.w.T.)
An example of this kind of lie is when a lying person, in order, to prove his statement says:
“Allah is a witness that I am speaking the truth.” Or,
“Allah knows that I am saying the truth.”
There is a saying of Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.):
“One who says, “Allah knows,”where as Allah does not (i.e He knows the opposite of it), the heaven shudder at the Might (and the anger) of Allah”
(al-KÄfi)
In another tradition, Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says:
“When a man says, ‘Allah knows’ while what he says is a lie, Allah tells him, ‘Didn’t you find anyone else to attribute a falsehood to?’”
(Wasa’il ul-Shia)
In some traditions it is mentioned that when a person makes Allah (S.w.T.) a witness for a falsehood Allah (S.w.T.) says, “Didn’t you find anyone weaker than Me to be a witness for your falsehood?”
