Hadith.5081 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Hammad ibn Ziyad from Sulayman ibn Khalid from Abu Abdullah (as) who said
"Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) was asked about a mukatab (a slave who has a contract for freedom) who falsely accused a Muslim man. Imam (as) said: 'He is to be flogged with the punishment of a free man - eighty lashes - whether he has paid any part of his contract or not.' It was asked: 'What if he commits adultery while he is a mukatab and has not paid anything from his contract?' Imam (as) said: 'This is the right of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic. Fifty lashes are waived from him, and he is to be flogged fifty lashes.'"
5081 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"سُئِلَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ مُكَاتَبٍ اِفْتَرَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ فَقَالَ "يُضْرَبُ حَدَّ اَلْحُرِّ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً أَدَّى مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ شَيْئاً أَوْ لَمْ يُؤَدِّ" قِيلَ لَهُ فَإِنْ زَنَى وَ هُوَ مُكَاتَبٌ وَ لَمْ يُؤَدِّ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ شَيْئاً قَالَ "هَذَا حَقُّ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُطْرَحُ عَنْهُ خَمْسُونَ جَلْدَةً وَ يُضْرَبُ خَمْسِينَ" ".
