أَتَى رَجُلٌ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) بِرَجُلٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا قَدْ قَذَفَنِي وَ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اسْتَحْلِفْهُ فَقَالَ لَا يَمِينَ فِي حَدٍّ وَ لَا قِصَاصَ فِي عَظْمٍ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from one of our companions, Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> has said: ‘A man came to Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> with a man, so he said, ‘This one has slandered me’, and there did not happen to be any proof for him. So he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>! Make me swear an oath’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no swearing of an oath regarding a Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>), and there is no retaliation regarding a bone’.
