However, when it comes to the rights of people in a legal punishment, there is no harm if it is pardoned without the Imam's involvement."

The people were divided on how to punish him: some said: "Kill him," while others said: "Burn him." Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) wrote back to him: "The sanctity of the deceased is like the sanctity of the living. His punishment is that his hand should be cut off for exhuming the grave and stealing the clothing, and the legal punishment for adultery is to be applied to him. If he was married (muhsan), he is to be stoned, and if he was not married, he is to be flogged one hundred lashes."

5146 - وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "اِدْرَءُوا اَلْحُدُودَ بِالشُّبُهَاتِ وَ لاَ شَفَاعَةَ وَ لاَ كَفَالَةَ وَ لاَ يَمِينَ فِي حَدٍّ".

When he could not distinguish it, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) carried out the legal punishment on him."

5148 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو أَيُّوبَ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِنَّ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ بِالسَّوْطِ وَ بِنِصْفِ اَلسَّوْطِ وَ بِبَعْضِهِ يَعْنِي فِي اَلْحُدُودِ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِغُلاَمٍ أَوْ جَارِيَةٍ لَمْ يُدْرِكَا وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُبْطِلُ حَدّاً مِنْ حُدُودِ اَللَّهِ" فَقِيلَ لَهُ كَيْفَ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ بِبَعْضِهِ قَالَ "كَانَ يَأْخُذُ اَلسَّوْطَ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ وَسَطِهِ فَيَضْرِبُ بِهِ أَوْ مِنْ ثُلُثِهِ فَيَضْرِبُ بِهِ عَلَى قَدْرِ أَسْنَانِهِمْ كَذَلِكَ يَضْرِبُهُمْ بِالسَّوْطِ وَ لاَ يُبْطِلُ حَدّاً مِنْ حُدُودِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ".

Hadith.5148 - Abu Ayyub narrated from Al-Halabi from Abu Abdullah (as) who said: "In the book of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), it is mentioned that He (as) would administer punishment using a whip, half a whip, or even a part of it - meaning in the legal punishments (hudud) when a young boy or girl, who had not yet reached maturity, was brought to him. Yet, He (as) would not nullify any of Allah's (swt) prescribed punishments." Imam Al Sadiq (as) was asked: "How would he strike with part of the whip?" Imam (as) replied: "Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) would hold the whip by its middle and strike with it, or he would hold it by a third and strike with it, in proportion to their ages. In this way, he would strike them with the whip without nullifying any of Allah's (swt) prescribed punishments, the Mighty and Majestic."
