Chapter on the Legal Punishment for Slanderous Accusation
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ وَهْبِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَحُدُّ فِي اَلتَّعْرِيضِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ بِالْفِرْيَةِ اَلْمُصَرَّحَةِ مِثْلِ يَا زَانِ وَ يَا اِبْنَ اَلزَّانِيَةِ أَوْ لَسْتَ لِأَبِيكَ".
In the narration of Wahb ibn Wahb from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام: "Indeed, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام would not administer the legal punishment for insinuation unless it was a clear and explicit accusation, such as saying, 'O' adulterer,' or 'O' son of an adulteress,' or 'You are not your father's son.'"
