Chapter on What Necessitates Discretionary Punishment, Legal Punishment, Stoning, Execution, and Exile in Adultery
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلْعَبْدِ يَتَزَوَّجُ اَلْحُرَّةَ ثُمَّ يُعْتَقُ فَيُصِيبُ فَاحِشَةً قَالَ "لاَ رَجْمَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يُوَاقِعَ اَلْحُرَّةَ بَعْدَ مَا يُعْتَقُ" قُلْتُ فَلِلْحُرَّةِ عَلَيْهِ اَلْخِيَارُ إِذَا أُعْتِقَ قَالَ "لاَ قَدْ رَضِيَتْ بِهِ وَ هُوَ مَمْلُوكٌ هُوَ عَلَى نِكَاحِهِ اَلْأَوَّلِ".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Ri'ab, who reported from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام regarding a slave who marries a free woman and is later emancipated but then commits an immoral act. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no stoning (rajm) upon him until he engages in intercourse with the free woman after his emancipation." I asked: "Does the free woman have the option (to leave him) when he is freed?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "No, for she accepted him while he was a slave, and he remains upon his original marriage."
