وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "سُئِلَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ مُكَاتَبٍ اِفْتَرَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ فَقَالَ "يُضْرَبُ حَدَّ اَلْحُرِّ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً أَدَّى مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ شَيْئاً أَوْ لَمْ يُؤَدِّ" قِيلَ لَهُ فَإِنْ زَنَى وَ هُوَ مُكَاتَبٌ وَ لَمْ يُؤَدِّ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ شَيْئاً قَالَ "هَذَا حَقُّ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُطْرَحُ عَنْهُ خَمْسُونَ جَلْدَةً وَ يُضْرَبُ خَمْسِينَ" ".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Hammad ibn Ziyad from Sulayman ibn Khalid from Abu Abdullah (a.s) who said: "Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) was asked about a mukatab (a slave who has a contract for freedom) who falsely accused a Muslim man. Imam (a.s) said: 'He is to be flogged with the punishment of a free man - eighty lashes - whether he has paid any part of his contract or not.' It was asked: 'What if he commits adultery while he is a mukatab and has not paid anything from his contract?' Imam (a.s) said: 'This is the right of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic. Fifty lashes are waived from him, and he is to be flogged fifty lashes.'"
