إِنْ قَالَ الرَّابِعُ أَوْهَمْتُ ضُرِبَ الْحَدَّ وَ غُرِّمَ الدِّيَةَ وَ إِنْ قَالَ تَعَمَّدْتُ قُتِلَ.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from certain persons of his people who has narrated the following: “This is about the case of four men who testify against al-Muhsin (married male) to have committed fornication; then one of them retracts his testimony after the man is executed. Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If the fourth cites doubt, he is subjected to penalty, but if he says it was intentional then he is put to death.’”
