Al-Kafi 13778

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah^asws about a man who accused his son with the adultery. He^asws said: ‘Had he (father) killed him, he would not be killed due to it, and if he has accused him, he would not be whipped for it’. I said, ‘So if his father accused his mother?’ So he^asws said: ‘If he had accused her and negates himself from her child, then there is cursing, and that child which he had negated from would not be necessitated upon him, and there would be separation between the two, and she would not be Permissible for him, ever. He^asws said: ‘And if he had said to his son and his mother was alive, ‘O son of the adulteress’, and does not negated from her child, he would be whipped the Penalty (Hadd) for her, and there would not be separation between the two. And if he had said to his son, ‘O son of the aduteress’, and his mother had died, and there does not happen to be anyone who can take with her right from him except for her child from him, so the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) would not be established upon him, because the right of the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) has gone to a son from her, and if there was a son for her from other than him, so he would be her guardian, the whipping would be for him, and if there does not happen to be a child from other than him, and for her are relatives, they would be standing for taking the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>), the whipping would be for them’.
