Chapter on What Necessitates Discretionary Punishment, Legal Punishment, Stoning, Execution, and Exile in Adultery
وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَزْنِي فِي اَلْيَوْمِ اَلْوَاحِدِ مِرَاراً قَالَ "إِنْ زَنَى بِامْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ كَذَا وَ كَذَا مَرَّةً فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ حَدٌّ وَاحِدٌ وَ إِنْ هُوَ زَنَى بِنِسَاءٍ شَتَّى فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ أَوْ فِي سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ فِي كُلِّ اِمْرَأَةٍ فَجَرَ بِهَا حَدّاً".
Ali ibn Abi Hamzah narrated from Abu Basir from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who commits adultery multiple times in a single day. Imam عليه السلام replied: "If he commits adultery with the same woman multiple times, then only one punishment (hadd) applies to him. However, if he commits adultery with different women in the same day or even in the same hour, then for each woman he has violated, a separate punishment (hadd) applies."
