قَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي احْتَلَمْتُ بِأُمِّكَ فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا افْتَرَى عَلَى أُمِّي فَقَالَ لَهُ وَ مَا قَالَ لَكَ قَالَ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ احْتَلَمَ بِأُمِّي فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فِي الْعَدْلِ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَقَمْتُهُ لَكَ فِي الشَّمْسِ فَاجْلِدْ ظِلَّهُ فَإِنَّ الْحُلُمَ مِثْلُ الظِّلِّ وَ لَكِنْ سَنَضْرِبُهُ حَتَّى لَا يَعُودَ يُؤْذِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ . وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى ضَرَبَهُ ضَرْباً وَجِيعاً .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said, ‘A man said to a man, during the era of Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I bed-wetted with your mother (in mind)’. So it was raised to Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>. He said, ‘This one has fabricated upon my mother’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘And what did he say to you?’ He said, ‘He claims that he bed-wetted by (having) my mother (in mind)’. So Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘With regards to the justice, if I<sup>asws</sup> so desire to, for you, I<sup>asws</sup> would make him stand in the (heat of) the sun, and whip his shadow, for the dream is similar to the shadow. But, we<sup>asws</sup> shall be whipping him until he does not repeat hurting the Muslims’. And in another report, he<sup>asws</sup> whipped him with a painful whipping’.
