وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ: إِنَّ عَبَّادَ اَلْمَكِّيِّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي سُفْيَانُ اَلثَّوْرِيُّ أَرَى لَكَ مِنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَنْزِلَةً فَاسْأَلْهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ زَنَى وَ هُوَ مَرِيضٌ فَإِنْ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلْحَدُّ خَافُوا أَنْ يَمُوتَ مَا تَقُولُ فِيهِ قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي "هَذِهِ اَلْمَسْأَلَةُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِكَ أَوْ أَمَرَكَ إِنْسَانٌ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ عَنْهَا" فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ سُفْيَانَ اَلثَّوْرِيَّ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ "إِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ أَحْبَنَ قَدِ اِسْتَسْقَى بَطْنُهُ وَ بَدَتْ عُرُوقُ فَخِذَيْهِ وَ قَدْ زَنَى بِامْرَأَةٍ مَرِيضَةٍ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَأُتِيَ بِعُرْجُونٍ فِيهِ مِائَةُ شِمْرَاخٍ فَضَرَبَهُ بِهِ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً وَ ضَرَبَهَا بِهِ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً وَ خَلَّى سَبِيلَهُمَا وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ خُذْ بِيَدِكَ ضِغْثاً فَاضْرِبْ بِهِ وَ لاٰ تَحْنَثْ ".
Narrated by Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Hanan ibn Sadir who said: Indeed, Abbad Al-Makki said that Sufyan Al-Thawri told me, "I see that you have a close relationship with Abu Abdullah (a.s), so ask Imam (a.s) about a man who committed adultery while he is ill. If the prescribed punishment (hadd) is carried out on him, they fear he might die. What is your opinion on this matter?" So I asked Imam (a.s), and Imam (a.s) said to me: "Is this question from yourself, or did someone instruct you to ask about it?" I replied: "Sufyan Al-Thawri ordered me to ask you about it." Imam (a.s) said: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was brought a man who was obese, his stomach was swollen, and the veins of his thighs were visible, and he had committed adultery with a sick woman. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) commanded that a palm branch with one hundred stalks be brought, and he struck him with it once and struck her with it once, and then he set them both free. This is in accordance with the saying of Allah (swt) Almighty: 'And take in your hand a bundle of thin grass and strike with it, and do not break your oath'." (Surah Sad 38:44)
