Chapter on What Necessitates Discretionary Punishment, Legal Punishment, Stoning, Execution, and Exile in Adultery
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ رَبِيعٍ اَلْأَصَمِّ عَنِ اَلْحَارِثِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَهُ اِمْرَأَةٌ بِالْعِرَاقِ فَأَصَابَ فُجُوراً فِي اَلْحِجَازِ فَقَالَ "يُضْرَبُ حَدَّ اَلزَّانِي مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ وَ لاَ يُرْجَمُ" قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ مَعَهَا فِي بَلَدٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ هُوَ فِي سِجْنٍ مَحْبُوسٌ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهَا وَ لاَ تَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ زَنَى فِي اَلسِّجْنِ قَالَ "هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلْغَائِبِ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ يُجْلَدُ مِائَةً".
It is narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Rabi' Al-Asam, from Al-Harith ibn Al-Mughira who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who had a wife in Iraq but committed adultery in the Hijaz. Imam عليه السلام said: "He will be punished with one hundred lashes as the punishment for adultery but will not be stoned." I asked: "What if he and his wife were in the same city, but he was imprisoned and unable to go to her, nor could she visit him, and he committed adultery in prison?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "He is like one who is absent from his family and will be lashed one hundred times."
