Hadith record

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from one of our companions, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5 th or 6 th Imam asws ) regarding a man who accepted upon himself with the adultery, four times, and he was marriied, that he would he be stoned until he dies, or he (admits) lying before he is stoned, so he is saying, ‘I did not do it’. So if he were to say that, he would be left alone and would not be stoned’. And he asws said: ‘The thief would not be cut until he accepts with the theft, twice. So if he retracts responsibility of the theft, he would not be cut if there do not happen to be any witnesses’. And he asws said: ‘The adulter would not be stoned until he accepts four times with the adultery, when there do not happen to be witnesses. So if he were to retract, he would be left alone and would not be stoned’.
