Chapter on What Necessitates Discretionary Punishment, Legal Punishment, Stoning, Execution, and Exile in Adultery
وَ رَوَى شُعَيْبٌ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "قَضَى عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةَ رَجُلٍ أَنَّهُ رَجَمَ اَلْمَرْأَةَ وَ ضَرَبَ اَلرَّجُلَ اَلْحَدَّ وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ عَلِمْتَ لَفَضَخْتُ رَأْسَكَ بِالْحِجَارَةِ" ".
Shuayb narrated from Abu Baṣir who said that Abu Jafar عليه السلام said: "Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام ruled in the case of a man who married another man's wife, that the woman should be stoned, and the man should be given the prescribed punishment (for fornication). Imam عليه السلام then said: 'If I knew that you were aware (that she was already married), I would have crushed your head with stones.'"
