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 ).

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from one of his companions, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws regarding a man upon whom the proof is established of his having commited adultery, then he flees before he is whipped. He asws said: ‘So if he repents, there is nothing upon him, and if he falls in the hands of the Imam asws , he asws would establish the Penalty ( Hadd ) upon him, and if his whereabouts are known, he asws would send (a summoner) to him’.
