Chapter on Rare Cases of Legal Punishments

175. hadíth

وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ لاِمْرَأَةٍ يَا زَانِيَةُ فَقَالَتْ أَنْتَ أَزْنَى مِنِّي قَالَ "عَلَيْهَا اَلْحَدُّ فِيمَا قَذَفَتْهُ بِهِ وَ أَمَّا فِي إِقْرَارِهَا عَلَى نَفْسِهَا فَلاَ تُحَدُّ حَتَّى تُقِرَّ بِذَلِكَ عِنْدَ اَلْإِمَامِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ".

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) was asked about a man who said to a woman, "O' adulteress," and she replied: "You are more adulterous than me." Imam (a.s) said: "She is subject to the legal punishment (hadd) for the accusation she made against him. However, regarding her self-admission, she is not to be punished unless she confesses to that before the Imam four times."
