Hadith record

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed and Ibn Abu Umeyr, altogether from Jameel Bin Darraj, from a man, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5 th or 6 th Imam asws ), regarding a man who steals, or drinks the wine, or commits adultery, so he was not know to be with that and he was not seized, until he repented and corrected (himself). So he asws said: ‘When his correctness is recognised from him, it is a beautiful matter, the Penalty ( Hadd ) would not be established upon him’. Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr said, ‘I said, ‘So if it was a matter close by (just been committed), (the Penalty ( Hadd )) would not be established?’ He asws said: ‘If it was five or six months from it, and he had manifested a beautiful matter (reformed himself), the Penalties would not be established upon him’. And that has been reported from some of our companions, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5 th or 6 th Imam asws ).
