restraint. A wise man said: "It is so difficult to wean him who found sweet the suckling of untruth."
Greed: It is surely one of the strongest incentives of untruth.
Enmity and envy: These two things have very often induced to invent false accusations and fabricate libels against enemies. The righteous individuals who promote themselves against plunging in the wrong have frequently had to suffer the tragedies of false accusations.
Sorts of Untruth
First: False Swearing
False swearing is the most dangerous sort of untruth, because it is a double crime-it is flagrant daring against the Almighty Lord and a shocking crime that eradicates the rights.
The Prophet (s) said: "Beware of false swearing, for it changes countries into deserted wastelands." 38
Imam as-Sadiq (a) said: "False swearing brings poverty to the descendants." 39
Second: Perjury
Like the previous, perjury is a serious crime resulting in denial of the rights and commonness of disorder in the society.
The Prophet (a) said: "Before the perjurer finishes his false testimony in front of the judge, his place is Hell is prepared. The same thing is said about him who conceals a testimony." 40
The holy Quran, also, warned against false wording:
"Stay away from wickedness, idols, and false words. (22:30)"
Damages of False Swearing and Perjury
The false swearer and the perjurer do badly to themselves by exposing them to the wrath of God.
