Hadith.4995 - The Commander of the Faithful (as) brought out Shuraha Al-Hamdaniyyah, and the crowd became so dense that people were almost killing one another due to the overcrowding. When Imam (as) saw this, Imam (as) ordered her to be taken back until the crowd dispersed. Then she was brought out again, and the gate was closed. Imam (as) said: "They stoned her until she died." Afterward, Imam (as) commanded that the gate be opened, and whoever entered began cursing her. When Imam (as) observed this, Imam (as) called out through his announcer, "O' people! Restrain your tongues from her, for no punishment is carried out except that it serves as atonement for that sin, just as a debt is repaid by a debt."
4995 - : وَ خَرَجَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِشُرَاحَةَ اَلْهَمْدَانِيَّةِ فَكَادَ اَلنَّاسُ يَقْتُلُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً مِنَ اَلزِّحَامِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ أَمَرَ بِرَدِّهَا حَتَّى خَفَّتِ اَلزَّحْمَةُ ثُمَّ أُخْرِجَتْ وَ أُغْلِقَ اَلْبَابُ قَالَ "فَرَمَوْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ" ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِالْبَابِ فَفُتِحَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ مَنْ دَخَلَ يَلْعَنُهَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ نَادَى مُنَادِيهِ "أَيُّهَا اَلنَّاسُ اِرْفَعُوا أَلْسِنَتَكُمْ عَنْهَا فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يُقَامُ حَدٌّ إِلاَّ كَانَ كَفَّارَةَ ذَلِكَ اَلذَّنْبِ كَمَا يُجْزَى اَلدَّيْنُ بِالدَّيْنِ".
