وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ أُخِذَ مَعَ اِمْرَأَةٍ فِي بَيْتٍ فَأَقَرَّتْ أَنَّهَا اِمْرَأَتُهُ وَ أَقَرَّ أَنَّهُ زَوْجُهَا فَقَالَ "رُبَّ رَجُلٍ لَوْ أُتِيتُ بِهِ لَأَجَزْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَ رُبَّ رَجُلٍ لَوْ أُتِيتُ بِهِ لَضَرَبْتُهُ".

It was narrated from Abu Basir who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "A man was found with a woman in a house, and she admitted that she was his wife, and he admitted that he was her husband." Imam (a.s) said: "There may be a man whom, if he were brought to me, I would approve of that for him, and there may be a man whom, if he were brought to me, I would have him beaten."
