Chapter on What Necessitates Discretionary Punishment, Legal Punishment, Stoning, Execution, and Exile in Adultery
وَ رَوَى هِشَامُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي اَلْقُرْآنِ رَجْمٌ قَالَ "نَعَمْ" قُلْتُ كَيْفَ قَالَ " اَلشَّيْخُ وَ اَلشَّيْخَةُ فَارْجُمُوهُمَا اَلْبَتَّةَ فَإِنَّهُمَا قَضَيَا اَلشَّهْوَةَ ".
Hisham ibn Salim narrated from Sulayman ibn Khalid who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about the stoning mentioned in the Quran. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes." I asked: "How is it mentioned?" Imam عليه السلام said: "The old man and the old woman - stone them absolutely, for they have fulfilled their desire."
