قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص فِي الزِّنَا خَمْسُ خِصَالٍ يَذْهَبُ بِمَاءِ الْوَجْهِ وَ يُورِثُ الْفَقْرَ وَ يَنْقُصُ الْعُمُرَ وَ يُسْخِطُ الرَّحْمَنَ وَ يُخَلِّدُ فِي النَّارِ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ.
9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz ibn ‘Abd Allah from al-Fudayl ibn Yasar who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said
ثَلَاثَةٌ لا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ ... وَ لا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ مِنْهُمُ الْمَرْأَةُ تُوطِئُ فِرَاشَ زَوْجِهَا.
“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Allah, does not speak to three kinds of people and they will suffer a painful suffering: One kind of such people is a woman who allows someone other than her husband to go to bed with her.’”
قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَ لَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِكِبْرِ الزِّنَا قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ هِيَ امْرَأَةٌ تُوطِئُ فِرَاشَ زَوْجِهَا فَتَأْتِي بِوَلَدٍ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ فَتُلْزِمُهُ زَوْجَهَا فَتِلْكَ الَّتِي لَا يُكَلِّمُهَا اللَّهُ وَ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ لَا يُزَكِّيهَا وَ لَهَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin once said, ‘Can I tell you about how great the sin of fornication is?’ They replied, ‘Yes, please tell us about it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is a woman who allows someone other than her husband to go to bed with her; then gives birth thereby to a child and makes h
