117 - وَبِهذَا الإِسنادِ قالَ: قالَ عَلِىُّ بْنُ أَبِي طالِب‏ عَلَيْهِالسَّلامُ: سُئِلَ النَّبِيُ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ عَنِ امْرَأَة قِيلَ: إِنَّها زَنَت، فَذَكَرَتِ المَرْأَةُ أَنَّها بِكْرٌ، فَأَمَرَنِي النَّبِيُ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ أَن آمُرَ النِّساءَ أَن يَنْظُرنَ إِلَيْها فَنَظَرنَ إِلَيْها فَوَجَدنَها بِكراً، فَقالَ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: ما كُنْتُ لأَضرِبَ من عَلَيْهِ خاتَمٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَكانَ يُجِيزُ شَهادَةَ النِّساءِ فِي مِثلِ هذا.

Translation

31-117 According to the same documentation, Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) said, “The Prophet (S) was told that a woman had committed adultery while she claimed that she was a virgin. Then the Prophet (S) asked some women to check her up. They checked her hymen and found her to be a virgin. Then the Prophet (S) said, “I cannot beat one upon whom there is Divine Seal.” He (a.s.) accepted the women’s testimony in this case and considered it correct.”
