The Sufficient (Vol 5) · Hadith 1349 (#Ḥadīth #3)

3- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الزَّانِي لا يَنْكِحُ إِلا زانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً قَالَ هُمْ رِجَالٌ وَنِسَاءٌ كَانُوا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَشْهُورِينَ بِالزِّنَا فَنَهَى اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنْ أُولَئِكَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالنَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ مَنْ شَهَرَ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدُّ فَلا تُزَوِّجُوهُ حَتَّى تُعْرَفَ تَوْبَتُهُ.

3. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla’ ibn Muhammad al-Hassan ibn Ali from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far , about the word of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘A prostitute man cannot marry but a prostitute woman or a pagan,’ (24:4) has said, ‘During the time of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, there were well-known prostitutes female and male. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has prohibited forming marriage contract with such men and women. Today people who become known as such or are convicted for fornication and punished (by the qualified court) are of the same status. No one must marry them unless it is known that they have repented.’”
