Hadith.5005 - Narrated by Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Abu Ayyub, from Sulayman ibn Khalid, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) regarding a young boy who had not yet reached the age of ten and committed adultery with a woman. Imam (as) said
"The boy is to be beaten with lashes but not subjected to the full prescribed punishment (hadd), whereas the woman is to be given the full hadd punishment." I asked: "What if she was married (muhsanah)?" Imam (as) replied: "She is not to be stoned because the one who had intercourse with her is not mature. However, if he had been mature, she would have been stoned."
5005 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي غُلاَمٍ صَغِيرٍ لَمْ يُدْرِكِ اِبْنِ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ زَنَى بِامْرَأَةٍ قَالَ
"يُجْلَدُ اَلْغُلاَمُ دُونَ اَلْحَدِّ وَ تُضْرَبُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ اَلْحَدَّ كَامِلاً" قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ مُحْصَنَةً قَالَ "لاَ تُرْجَمُ لِأَنَّ اَلَّذِي نَكَحَهَا لَيْسَ بِمُدْرِكٍ وَ لَوْ كَانَ مُدْرِكاً رُجِمَتْ".
