Chapter on What Necessitates Discretionary Punishment, Legal Punishment, Stoning, Execution, and Exile in Adultery
وَ رَوَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ يَعْنِي اِبْنَ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا زَنَى اَلشَّيْخُ وَ اَلْعَجُوزُ جُلِدَا ثُمَّ رُجِمَا عُقُوبَةً لَهُمَا وَ إِذَا زَنَى اَلنَّصَفُ مِنَ اَلرِّجَالِ رُجِمَ وَ لَمْ يُجْلَدْ إِذَا كَانَ قَدْ أُحْصِنَ وَ إِذَا زَنَى اَلشَّابُّ اَلْحَدَثُ جُلِدَ مِائَةً وَ نُفِيَ سَنَةً مِنْ مِصْرِهِ".
It is narrated by Ibrahim ibn Hashim from Muhammad ibn Hafs from Abdullah ibn Sinan from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام who said: "If an elderly man and an elderly woman commit adultery, they should first be lashed and then stoned as a punishment for them. If a middle-aged man commits adultery and he is married (muhṣan), he should be stoned but not lashed. However, if a young man commits adultery, he should be lashed one hundred times and exiled for one year from his city."
