Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Ubeyd, from Yunus, from one of his companions, raising it, said, ‘It was in the era of Amir Al-Momineen, two men had established brotherhood between themselves for the Sake of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic. So, one of the two died and bequeathed to the other regarding the protection of a daughter he had. So the man protected her and made her status to be of the status of his children with regards to the kindness, and the honour, and the care. Then a journey presented itself, so he went out, and bequeathed to his wife with regards to the young girl. His journey got prolonged to the extent that the young girl matured, and she had beauty for her, and the man had been contracted with regard to her protection and the care for her. So when his wife saw that, she feared that he would proceed, and he would see her to have reached the age of the women, so he would be astounded by her beauty, so he would marry her. So she and the women who were with her pre-conceived malice against her, a number of whom held her down, then she destroyed her virginity by her fingers. So when the man came over from his journey and came to be in his house, called the young girl. But, she refused to answer him being too embarassed from what had happened. So he insisted calling her, she refused to answer him with all of that. So when he had frequented that, his wife said to him, ‘Leave her, for she is too embarassed as she had come to a sin which she has done’. He said to her, ‘And what is it?’ She said, ‘Such and such’, and accused her with the immorality. So the man said, ‘We are for Allah^azwj and to Him^azwj we are returning’. Then he stood up to the girl, so he rebuked her and said to her, ‘Woe be unto you! Do you not know what I have done with you from the kindness? By Allah^azwj! I had not promised you except to one of my sons or my brothers, even if you were my own daughter. So what called you to what you did?’ So the girl said, ‘But when she said to you what she said, by Allah^azwj, I did not do what your wife is accusing me with, and she had lied against me, and that the story is such and such’, and she described to him what his wife had done with her. He^asws said: ‘So the man grabbed the hand of his wife and a hand of the girl, so he went with the two of them until he sat both of them down in front of Amir Al-Momineen^asws, and informed him^asws of the story, all of it, and the woman accepted with that. He^asws said: ‘And Al-Hassan^asws was in front of his^asws father^asws. So Amir Al-Momineen^asws said to him^asws: ‘Judge with regards to it!’ So Al-Hassan^asws said: ‘Yes. Upon the woman is the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) due to her slandering the girl, and upon her is the price of deflowering her’. So Amir Al-Momineen^asws said: ‘You^asws have spoken the truth’. Then he^asws said: ‘If the camel is tasked with the grinding, it does it’.
