وَ رَوَى عَمَّارُ بْنُ مُوسَى اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلاَثَةُ رِجَالٍ أَنَّهُ زَنَى بِفُلاَنَةَ وَ شَهِدَ اَلرَّابِعُ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي بِمَنْ زَنَى قَالَ "لاَ يُحَدُّ وَ لاَ يُرْجَمُ" وَ سُئِلَ عَنْ مُحْصَنَةٍ زَنَتْ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى قَالَ "تُقَرُّ حَتَّى تَضَعَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا وَ تُرْضِعَ وَلَدَهَا ثُمَّ تُرْجَمُ".
It is narrated from Ammar ibn Musa Al-Sabati that Abu Abdullah (a.s) said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man against whom three men testified that he had committed adultery with a certain woman, but the fourth witness testified that he did not know with whom the man had committed adultery. Imam (a.s) replied: "He is neither to be punished with lashes nor stoned." Imam (a.s) was also asked about a married woman who committed adultery and was pregnant. Imam (a.s) said: "She should be kept until she gives birth to what is in her womb and nurses her child, then she is to be stoned."
