سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ عَبْدٍ مَمْلُوكٍ قَذَفَ حُرّاً قَالَ يُجْلَدُ ثَمَانِينَ هَذَا مِنْ حُقُوقِ النَّاسِ فَأَمَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ حُقُوقِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّهُ يُضْرَبُ نِصْفَ الْحَدِّ قُلْتُ الَّذِي مِنْ حُقُوقِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا هُوَ قَالَ إِذَا زَنَى أَوْ شَرِبَ خَمْراً فَهَذَا مِنَ الْحُقُوقِ الَّتِي يُضْرَبُ فِيهَا نِصْفَ الْحَدِّ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Sayf Bin Umeyr, from Abu Bakr Al Hazramy who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about an owned slave who slandered a free (person). He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would be whipped eighty (lashes). This is from the rights of the people. So as for what was from the Rights of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, so he would be whipped half the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>)’. I said, ‘That which is from the Right of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, what is it?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When he commits adultery or drinks wine, so these are from the Rights for which he would be whipped half the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) with regards to it’.
