Chapter on the Legal Punishment for Slanderous Accusation
وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِذَا كَانَ فِي اَلْحَدِّ لَعَلَّ أَوْ عَسَى فَالْحَدُّ مُعَطَّلٌ".
Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام said: "If there is doubt expressed with 'perhaps' or 'it may be' in enforcing a legal punishment, then the punishment is to be suspended."
