سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ شَهِدُوا عَلَى رَجُلٍ بِالزِّنَى فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ رَجَعَ أَحَدُهُمْ عَنْ شَهَادَتِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ يُقْتَلُ الرَّابِعُ وَ يُؤَدِّي الثَّلَاثَةُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَرْبَاعِ الدِّيَةِ .
Translation
Ibn Mahboub, from Ibrahim Bin Nuaym Al Azdy who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about four who testified upon a man with the adultery. So when he was killed, one of them retracted from hits testimony. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The fourth one would be killed, and the (other) three would pay three-quarters of the wergild to his family’.
