سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْمُلَاعِنِ وَ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعَانِ قَالَ يَجْلِسُ الْإِمَامُ مُسْتَدْبِرَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَيُقِيمُهُمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مُسْتَقْبِلَا الْقِبْلَةِ بِحِذَائِهِ وَ يَبْدَأُ بِالرَّجُلِ ثُمَّ الْمَرْأَةِ وَ الَّتِي يَجِبُ عَلَيْهَا الرَّجْمُ تُرْجَمُ مِنْ وَرَائِهَا وَ لَا يُرْجَمُ مِنْ وَجْهِهَا لِأَنَّ الضَّرْبَ وَ الرَّجْمَ لَا يُصِيبَانِ الْوَجْهَ يُضْرَبَانِ عَلَى الْجَسَدِ عَلَى الْأَعْضَاءِ كُلِّهَا .
Translation
Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Nasr, from Jameel, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about a cursing man and a cursing woman how should they both be dealt with?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The Imam<sup>asws</sup> would sit with his<sup>asws</sup> back towards the <span class="iTxt">Qiblah</span>, so he<sup>asws</sup> would be pausing both of them in front of him<sup>asws</sup> facing the <span class="iTxt">Qiblah</span> with his<sup>asws</sup> shoes (towards them), and he<sup>asws</sup> would begin with the man, then the woman, and the one woman upon whom the stoning is Obligated, would be stoned from behind her back, and would not be stoned from her face, because the striking, and the stoning cannot be hitting the face, but both can be stoned upon the body, upon all of the parts’.
