ثَلَاثَةٍ شَهِدُوا عَلَى رَجُلٍ بِالزِّنَى فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) أَيْنَ الرَّابِعُ فَقَالُوا الْآنَ يَجِيءُ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) حُدُّوهُمْ فَلَيْسَ فِي الْحُدُودِ نَظِرَةُ سَاعَةٍ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, from his<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> regarding three witnesses upon one man with the adultery. So Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Where is the fourth?’ So they said, ‘He is coming just now’. So Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Apply the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) upon them, for there is nothing in the Penalties, waiting for a moment’.
