Hadith.5396 - Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya narrated from Ali ibn Isma'il from Ahmad ibn Al-Nadr from Al-Husayn ibn Amr from Yahya ibn Said ibn Al-Musayyab that Mu'awiyah wrote to Abu Musa Al-Ashari, saying: "The son of Abu Al-Husayn found a man with his wife and killed him. This matter has become confusing for the judges, so ask Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) about this issue." Abu Musa asked Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), and Imam (as) replied: "By Allah (swt), this matter is not in this land - meaning Kufa and its surroundings - nor is it in my presence. So how did this come to you?" He (Abu Musa) replied: "Mu'awiyah wrote to me that the son of Abu Al-Husayn found a man with his wife and killed him, and this matter has confused the judges. What is your opinion on this?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "I am Abu Al-Hasan (as). If he brings four witnesses who testify to what he claimed, then so be it. Otherwise, he should be handed over in full (for punishment)."
