Chapter on What Necessitates Discretionary Punishment, Legal Punishment, Stoning, Execution, and Exile in Adultery
وَ رَوَى طَلْحَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "لاَ يُجَرَّدُ فِي حَدٍّ وَ لاَ يُشْبَحُ يَعْنِي يُمَدُّ" وَ قَالَ "يُضْرَبُ اَلزَّانِي عَلَى اَلْحَالِ اَلَّتِي يُوجَدُ عَلَيْهَا، إِنْ وُجِدَ عُرْيَاناً ضُرِبَ عُرْيَاناً وَ إِنْ وُجِدَ وَ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ ضُرِبَ وَ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابُهُ".
Talhah ibn Zayd narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, that he said: "A person should not be stripped of their clothing nor stretched out (meaning tied or extended) for any legal punishment." Imam عليه السلام also said: "The adulterer should be beaten in the state in which they are found; if they are found unclothed, they are beaten while unclothed, and if they are found clothed, they are beaten while clothed."
