Al-Kafi 13620

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Dawood Bin Farqad who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah^asws saying that the companions of the Prophet^saww said to Sa’ad Bin Ubada, ‘What is your view, if you were to find a man upon the belly of your wife, how would you deal with it?’ He said, ‘I would strike him with the sword’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Rasool-Allah^saww came out, so he^saww said: ‘What is (the matter), O Sa’ad?’ He said, ‘They are saying, if you were to find a man upon the belly of your woman, what would you have done with him?’ So I said, ‘I would strike him with the sword’. So he^saww said: ‘O Sa’ad! And how (will you get) the four witnesses?’ So he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! After having seen with my own eyes, and Allah^azwj Knows that he has done it?’ He^saww said: ‘Yes, by Allah^azwj! (Even) after having seen with your eyes and Allah^azwj Knowing that he has done it, because Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic has Made a Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) for everything, and Made upon the one who exceeds the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>), a Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>)’.
