Chapter on the Legal Punishment for Slanderous Accusation
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ أَبِي سَيَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي أَرْبَعَةٍ شَهِدُوا عَلَى اِمْرَأَةٍ بِالْفُجُورِ أَحَدُهُمْ زَوْجُهَا قَالَ "يُجْلَدُونَ اَلثَّلاَثَةُ وَ يُلاَعِنُهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَ لاَ تَحِلُّ لَهُ أَبَداً".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Nu'aym ibn Ibrahim from Misma Abu Sayyar from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام regarding four people who testified against a woman for adultery, and one of them was her husband. Imam عليه السلام said: "The three (other witnesses) are to be flogged, and her husband is to perform lian (mutual cursing) with her. They are to be separated, and she will never be permissible for him again."
