Chapter on the Legal Punishment for Slanderous Accusation
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ نَصْرَانِيٍّ قَذَفَ مُسْلِماً فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا زَانِ قَالَ "يُجْلَدُ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً لِحَقِّ اَلْمُسْلِمِ وَ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً إِلاَّ سَوْطاً لِحُرْمَةِ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ يُحْلَقُ رَأْسُهُ وَ يُطَافُ بِهِ فِي أَهْلِ دِينِهِ لِكَيْ يُنَكَّلَ غَيْرُهُ".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abbad ibn Suhayb who said: Abu Abdullah عليه السلام was asked about a Christian who accused a Muslim by saying to him, "O' adulterer." Imam عليه السلام said: "He is to be flogged eighty lashes for violating the right of the Muslim and eighty lashes minus one for violating the sanctity of Islam. His head is to be shaved, and he is to be paraded among the people of his religion so that others may be deterred."
