Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus Bin Aqeel, from Muhammad Bin Qays, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen^asws judged regarding a contracted (slave girl) who committed adultery. He^asws said: ‘Look at what is taken from her contract, for there happens to be in it a Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) of the free, and whatever has not been fulfilled, so there would happen to be in it a Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) of the slave girl’. And he^asws said regarding a contracted (slave girl) who committed adultery, and she had been emanicpated (librated) from three-quarters of it, and there remained one quarter (to be fulfilled). So she would be whipped three-quarters of the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) of the free woman upon a hundred, so that would be seventy five lashes. And she would be whipped a quarter of the number of fifty from the (Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) of the) slave girl, being twelve and a half lashes. So that come to eighty seven and a half lashes. And he^asws refused to stone her and exile her before her emancipation is manifested’.
