كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَبَّادٌ الْبَصْرِيُّ وَ مَعَهُ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ حَدِّثْنِي إِذَا أُخِذَ الرَّجُلَانِ فِي لِحَافٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا أَخَذَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ فِي لِحَافٍ وَاحِدٍ ضَرَبَهُمَا الْحَدَّ فَقَالَ عَبَّادٌ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ لِي غَيْرَ سَوْطٍ فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ ذِكْرَ الْحَدِيثِ حَتَّى أَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ مِرَاراً فَقَالَ غَيْرَ سَوْطٍ فَكَتَبَ الْقَوْمُ الْحُضُورُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ الْحَدِيثَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, form Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> when Abbad Al-Basry came over and with him were some people from his companions. So he said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Narrate to me, if two men were to be found in one quilt: ‘So he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Ali<sup>asws</sup>, whenever he<sup>asws</sup> found two men in one quilt, used to whip both of them with the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>)’. So Abbad said, ‘You<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Less one lash’. So he<sup>asws</sup> repeated to him the mention of the Hadeeth until he had repeated it to him<sup>asws</sup> a few times. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Less one lash’. So the people present wrote down during that, the Hadeeth’.
