سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الَّذِي يَقْذِفُ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ تُقْبَلُ شَهَادَتُهُ بَعْدَ الْحَدِّ إِذَا تَابَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ وَ مَا تَوْبَتُهُ قَالَ يَجِيءُ وَ يُكْذِبُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْإِمَامِ وَ يَقُولُ قَدِ افْتَرَيْتُ عَلَى فُلَانَةَ وَ يَتُوبُ مِمَّا قَالَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ismail Bin Marrar, from Yunus, from one of his companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the one who slanders the married woman, would his testimony be accepted after the legal penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) (having been applied upon him), when he repents?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So what is his repentance?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would come and belie himself in the presence of the Imam<sup>asws</sup>, and would be saying, ‘I had forged upon so and so woman’, and he would repent from what had said’.
