Hadith 64
Hadith.5031 - It is narrated by Asim ibn Humayd from Muhammad ibn Qays from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that he was asked about a married woman who committed adultery and became pregnant. After giving birth, she secretly killed her child. Imam (as) said
'She is to be lashed one hundred times for committing fornication, another hundred lashes for killing her child, and she is to be stoned because she was married (muhsanah).'
