رَجُلٍ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ يَا ابْنَ الْفَاعِلَةِ يَعْنِي الزِّنَى قَالَ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ أُمُّهُ حَيَّةً شَاهِدَةً ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ تَطْلُبُ حَقَّهَا ضُرِبَ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ غَائِبَةً انْتُظِرَ بِهَا حَتَّى تَقْدَمَ فَتَطْلُبَ حَقَّهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ قَدْ مَاتَتْ وَ لَمْ يُعْلَمْ مِنْهَا إِلَّا خَيْرٌ ضُرِبَ الْمُفْتَرِي عَلَيْهَا الْحَدَّ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Al Hakam Al A’ama and Hisham Bin Salim, from Ammar Al Sabaty, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man who said to a man, ‘O son of the done with’, meaning the adultery. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If his mother was alive, present, then she came seeking her right, he would be whipped eighty lashes; and if she was absent, she would be awaited with until she proceeds, so she seeks her right; and if she had died and nothing was known about her except for the goodness, the fabricator, upon him would be eighty lashes’.
