أُتِيَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) بِامْرَأَةٍ بِكْرٍ زَعَمُوا أَنَّهَا زَنَتْ فَأَمَرَ النِّسَاءَ فَنَظَرْنَ إِلَيْهَا فَقُلْنَ هِيَ عَذْرَاءُ فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَضْرِبَ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا خَاتَمٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ كَانَ يُجِيزُ ( عليه السلام ) شَهَادَةَ النِّسَاءِ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘They came to Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> with an unmarried woman alleging that she had committed adultery. So he<sup>asws</sup> ordered the women to look at her, so they said, ‘She is a virgin’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> would not be the one to whip one upon whom is a seal from Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic’. And he<sup>asws</sup> used to allow the testimony of the women in (cases) similar to this’.
