قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) لَا يَشْفَعَنَّ أَحَدٌ فِي حَدٍّ إِذَا بَلَغَ الْإِمَامَ فَإِنَّهُ يَمْلِكُهُ وَ اشْفَعْ فِيمَا لَمْ يَبْلُغِ الْإِمَامَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ النَّدَمَ وَ اشْفَعْ عِنْدَ الْإِمَامِ فِي غَيْرِ الْحَدِّ مَعَ الرُّجُوعِ مِنَ الْمَشْفُوعِ لَهُ وَ لَا تَشْفَعْ فِي حَقِّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ وَ لَا غَيْرِهِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no interceding for anyone regarding a Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) when it (the matter) reaches the Imam<sup>asws</sup>, for he<sup>asws</sup> controls it, and intercession is in what does not reach the Imam<sup>asws</sup>, when the (accused) shows the remorse, and the intercession in the presence of the Imam<sup>asws</sup> can be in other (matters) than the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>), with the reference of the interceded to him, and one cannot inerceded regarding a right of a Muslim person, nor others, except by his<sup>asws</sup> permission’.
