A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from his brother Al Hassan, from Zurara Bin Muhammad, from Sama’at Bin Mihran, (The nrrator) says, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah asws about the man who fabricated upon the man, so he excused him from it. Then he wanted him to be whipped after the excusing. He asws said: ‘It is not for him that he should be whipped after the excusing’.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, form his father and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, altogether from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Ammar Al Sabaty who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah asws , ‘If a man says to a man, ‘O son of the ‘sexually active’, meaning the adultery, and for the slandered one is a brother of his father and his mother, so one of the two excused the slanderer and one of the two wanted that he should be brought to the ruler, and he would be whipped. Is that for him?’ So he asws said: ‘Is his mother not alive, the mother who excused him?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He asws said: ‘The excusing is for the both of them together when the mother is dead, so the matter would be for the both of them with regards to the excusing. So if she was alive, so the matter is for her, with regards to the excusing’.
