Hadith.4979 - Imam (as) said: "The earth has never cried out to its Lord (azj), the Mighty and Majestic, as intensely as it does because of three things: the shedding of unlawful blood upon it, bathing after engaging in unlawful sexual relations, and sleeping on it (earth) before the rising of the sun."

قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِابْنِهِ يُوسُفَ ع يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تَزْنِ فَإِنَّ الطَّيْرَ لَوْ زَنَى لَتَنَاثَرَ رِيشُهُ‌[5].

"I read in some books that Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, said: 'I will not grant My (swt) mercy to the one who exposes Me (swt) to false oaths, nor will I bring near to Me (swt) on the Day of Judgment the one who was an adulterer.'"

Hadith.4989 - Hammad narrated from Hariz from Abu Abdullah (as): "Indeed, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) found a man with a woman under one blanket, so he lashed each of them one hundred lashes, minus one lash."

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي آخِرِ مَا لَقِيتُهُ عَنْ غُلَامٍ لَمْ يَبْلُغِ الْحُلُمَ وَقَعَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ أَوْ فَجَرَ بِامْرَأَةٍ أَيُّ شَيْ‌ءٍ يُصْنَعُ بِهِمَا قَالَ يُضْرَبُ الْغُلَامُ دُونَ الْحَدِّ وَ يُقَامُ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الْحَدُّ فَقُلْتُ جَارِيَةٌ لَمْ‌ تَبْلُغْ وُجِدَتْ مَعَ رَجُلٍ يَفْجُرُ بِهَا قَالَ تُضْرَبُ الْجَارِيَةُ دُونَ الْحَدِّ وَ يُقَامُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الْحَدُّ.

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) during the last time I met Imam (as), about a boy who had not reached puberty and committed adultery with a woman or fornicated with a woman. What should be done to them?

إِنَّ عَبَّادَ الْمَكِّيِ‌[1] قَالَ قَالَ لِي سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ أَرَى لَكَ مِنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْزِلَةً فَاسْأَلْهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ زَنَى وَ هُوَ مَرِيضٌ فَإِنْ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدُّ خَافُوا أَنْ يَمُوتَ مَا تَقُولُ فِيهِ قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي هَذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِكَ أَوْ أَمَرَكَ إِنْسَانٌ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ عَنْهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيَّ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَس

Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said: "If a man were to take a bundle of rods or a branch containing multiple rods and struck someone with it once, it would suffice him for however many lashes he intended to administer, equal to the number of rods in that bundle."

إِذَا أَقَرَّ الزَّانِي الْمُحْصَنُ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَرْجُمُهُ الْإِمَامُ ثُمَّ النَّاسُ وَ إِذَا قَامَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْبَيِّنَةُ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَرْجُمُهُ الْبَيِّنَةُ ثُمَّ الْإِمَامُ ثُمَّ النَّاسُ‌[4].

وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً ع ضَرَبَ رَجُلًا تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً فِي نِفَاسِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْهُرَ الْحَدَّ[1].

يُضْرَبُ الرَّجُلُ الْحَدَّ قَائِماً وَ الْمَرْأَةُ قَاعِدَةً وَ يُضْرَبُ كُلُّ عُضْوٍ وَ يُتْرَكُ الْوَجْهُ وَ الْمَذَاكِيرُ[3].
