Hadith.5055 - Ibn Mahbub narrated from Abdullah ibn Bukayr from Anbasah ibn MuṣAb who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as), "If my bondwoman commits adultery, should I administer the prescribed punishment on her?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes, but let it be done in secrecy, for I fear the ruler's authority upon you."
