Chapter on the Legal Punishment for Slanderous Accusation
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ لاِمْرَأَتِهِ يَا زَانِيَةُ قَالَ "يُجْلَدُ حَدّاً وَ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا بَعْدَ مَا جُلِدَ وَ لاَ تَكُونُ اِمْرَأَتَهُ" قَالَ "وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَالَ كَلاَماً أَفْلَتَ مِنْهُ فِي غَيْرِ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ شَيْئاً أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغِيظَهَا بِهِ فَلاَ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا".
Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Hilal narrated from Uqbah ibn Khalid from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who said to his wife, "O' adulteress." Imam عليه السلام said: "He is to be given the legal punishment and they are to be separated after he has been flogged, and she will no longer be his wife." Imam عليه السلام further said: "But if he said something that slipped out unintentionally without having any knowledge of it, intending only to anger her, then they are not to be separated."
