سُئِلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ شُهُودٌ أَنَّهُ أَفْطَرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَقَالَ يُسْأَلُ هَلْ عَلَيْكَ فِي إِفْطَارِكَ إِثْمٌ فَإِنْ قَالَ لَا فَإِنَّ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ وَ إِنْ هُوَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَنْهَكَهُ ضَرْباً .
Translation
Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Bureyd Al Ajaly who said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> was asked about a man against whom witnesses testified that he had broken a Fast from the Month of Ramazan for three days. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would be asked, ‘Is there a sin upon you with regards to your breaking the Fast?’ So if he says, ‘No’, then it would be upon the Imam<sup>asws</sup> that he<sup>asws</sup> should kill him; and if he were to say, ‘Yes’, so it would be upon the Imam<sup>asws</sup> that he<sup>asws</sup> blights him with the whipping’.
