Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · Chapter on What Necessitates Discretionary Punishment, Legal Punishment, Stoning, Execution, and Exile in Adultery
وَ رَوَى عَاصِمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "لاَ يُجْلَدُ رَجُلٌ وَ لاَ اِمْرَأَةٌ حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَةُ شُهُودٍ عَلَى اَلْإِيلاَجِ وَ اَلْإِخْرَاجِ" وَ قَالَ "لاَ أَكُونُ أَوَّلَ اَلشُّهُودِ اَلْأَرْبَعَةِ أَخْشَى اَلرَّوْعَةَ أَنْ يَنْكُلَ بَعْضُهُمْ فَأُجْلَدَ".
Aṣim ibn Humayd narrated from Muhammad ibn Qays from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) who said: "The Commander of the Faithful (a.s) said: "A man or a woman shall not be flogged until four witnesses testify explicitly to the act of penetration and withdrawal." Imam (a.s) also said: "I will not be the first among the four witnesses because I fear that one of them might retract their testimony, and I would then be subjected to flogging."
