19- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي رَجُلٍ قِيلَ لَهُ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ لا وَاللهِ مَا فَعَلْتُهُ وَقَدْ فَعَلَهُ فَقَالَ كَذِبَةٌ كَذَبَهَا يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ مِنْهَا.

19. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has narrated the following: “This is about the case of a man who after being asked, ‘Did you do such and such work?’ says, ‘No, by Allah, I have not done it’ when in fact he has done it. Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that ’Amz’r al-Mu’minin, Ali , has said, ‘It is a lie that he has spoken and he must ask Allah for forgiveness.’”
