Chapter 7 | The Case of One who Testifies, then Retracts it

4- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ فِي أَرْبَعَةٍ شَهِدُوا عَلَى رَجُلٍ مُحْصَنٍ بِالزِّنَى ثُمَّ رَجَعَ أَحَدُهُمْ بَعْدَ مَا قُتِلَ الرَّجُلُ قَالَ إِنْ قَالَ الرَّابِعُ أَوْهَمْتُ ضُرِبَ الْحَدَّ وَغُرِّمَ الدِّيَةَ وَإِنْ قَالَ تَعَمَّدْتُ قُتِلَ.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from certain persons of his people who has narrated the following: “This is about the case of four men who testify against al-Muhsin (married male) to have committed fornication; then one of them retracts his testimony after the man is executed. Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘If the fourth cites doubt, he is subjected to penalty, but if he says it was intentional then he is put to death.’”
