54. hadíth

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ: "أَنَّ ثَلاَثَةً شَهِدُوا عَلَى رَجُلٍ بِالزِّنَا فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "أَيْنَ اَلرَّابِعُ" فَقَالُوا اَلْآنَ يَجِيءُ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "حُدُّوهُمْ فَلَيْسَ فِي اَلْحُدُودِ نَظَرُ سَاعَةٍ" ".

In the narration from Al-Sakuni, it is reported that three individuals testified against a man for committing adultery. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) asked: "Where is the fourth witness?" They replied: "He is coming now." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) then said: "Administer the punishment to them, for there is no delay in enforcing legal punishments."
