سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ لَوْ أَنَّ أَرْبَعَةً شَهِدُوا عِنْدِي عَلَى رَجُلٍ بِالزِّنَى وَ فِيهِمْ وَلَدُ الزِّنَى لَحَدَدْتُهُمْ جَمِيعاً لِأَنَّهُ لَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُ وَ لَا يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ.

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from ibn Faddal from Muhammad al-Ash‘ariy from ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah from his father who has narrated the following: “I once heard abu Ja‘far (a.s.), saying, ‘If four men among whom one is born out of wedlock testify before me against a man for fornication I will execute penalty on them all because his testimony is not acceptable and he cannot lead the people in Salat (prayer).’”
