Al-Kafi 13729

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Amro Bin Usman, and from his father, altogether from Haroun Bin Al Jahm, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I heard Abu Ja’far^asws and Abu Abdullah^asws both saying: ‘Whilst Al-Hassan Bin Ali^asws was in a gathering of Amir Al-Momineen^asws, when a group of people came over, so they said, ‘O Abu Muhammad^asws! We want Amir Al-Momineen^asws’. He^asws said: ‘So what is your need?’ They said, ‘We want to ask him a question’. He^asws said: ‘And what is it that you want to be informed with?’ So they said, ‘A woman, her husband copulated with her. So when he stood up from her, she stood up with her warmth, so she fell upon a virgin slave girl. So she performed the lesbian act with her. So the sperm fell inside her (the slave girl), so she became pregnant. So what are you^asws saying with regard to this?’ So Al-Hassan^asws said: ‘It is a dillemma and Abu Al-Hassan^asws is (appropriate) for it, and I^asws am saying, so if I^asws get it right, so it is from Allah^azwj, then from Amir Al-Momineen^asws, and if I^asws were to err, so it is from myself^asws, so I^asws hope that I^asws shall not err, Allah^azwj Willing. He should deliberate to the woman and take the dower of the virgin slave girl for her during the first opportunity, because the child would not come out from her until she is split, so her virginity would go away. Then the woman would be stoned because she is married. Then the slave girl would be awaited with until she gives birth to what is in her belly, and the child would be returned to its father, the owner of the sperm. Then the slave girl would be whipped the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>)’. He^asws said: ‘So the people dispersed from the presence of Al-Hassan^asws, so they met up with Amir Al-Momineen^asws. So they said they had said to Abu Muhammad^asws and what he^asws said to you all, so they informed him^asws. So he^asws said: ‘Had it been me^asws who had been questioned, there would not have been with me^asws any more that what my^asws son^asws has said’.
