Chapter on the Legal Punishment for Slanderous Accusation
وَ رَوَى أَبُو أَيُّوبَ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اِبْنِ اَلْمَغْصُوبَةِ يَفْتَرِي عَلَيْهِ اَلرَّجُلُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ يَا اِبْنَ اَلْفَاعِلَةِ فَقَالَ "أَرَى عَلَيْهِ اَلْحَدَّ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً وَ يَتُوبُ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِمَّا قَالَ".
Abu Ayyub narrated from Hariz from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man falsely accusing the son of a woman whose rights were violated (Al-maghsubah) by saying to him, "O' son of an adulteress." Imam عليه السلام said: "I believe he deserves the legal punishment of eighty lashes and must repent to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, for what he has said."
