Punishment of adulterer and adulteress

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عُبَیْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَهَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَعْیَنَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع یَقُولُ إِذَا زَنَی الرَّجُلُ أَدْخَلَ الشَّیْطَانُ ذَکَرَهُ فَعَمِلَا جَمِیعاً وَ کَانَتِ النُّطْفَهُ مِنْهُمَا وَ خُلِقَ مِنْهُمَا وَ خُلِقَ مِنْهَا الْوَلَدُ وَ یَکُونُ شِرْکَ الشَّیْطَانِ.
4. It is narrated that Imam Muhammad Baqir عليه السلام said, “When a person commits fornication, he is not alone and the Shaitaan accompanies him. Both of them commit this sin together. The semen is of one person only but the child belongs to both of them. Hence he is a partner of Shaitaan.”
