قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَجُلٌ أُخِذَ مَعَ امْرَأَةٍ فِي بَيْتٍ فَأَقَرَّ أَنَّهَا امْرَأَتُهُ وَ أَقَرَّتْ أَنَّهُ زَوْجُهَا فَقَالَ رُبَّ رَجُلٍ لَوْ أُتِيتُ بِهِ لَأَجَزْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَ رُبَّ رَجُلٍ لَوْ أُتِيتُ بِهِ لَضَرَبْتُهُ.

21. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il from Ali al-Nu’man from Suwayd al-Qala’ from Sama‘ah from abu Basir who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who is found in a house with a woman who confirms that she is his wife and she confirms that he is her husband. He (the Imam) said, ‘In the case of a certain man I can consider it permissible and in the case of a certain man if I find him as such I strike him (dead).”’
