Hadith 737
۞
Hadith.5695 - Abu Al-Jawza' narrated from Al-Husayn ibn Alwan, from Amr ibn Khalid, from Zayd ibn Ali, from his father (as), from his grandfather (as), from Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), regarding a man who accused his wife of adultery and then left.
When he returned, he found that his wife had passed away.
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said
"He is given a choice between two options. It is said to him: If you wish, you can admit to the sin, in which case the legal punishment (hadd) will be carried out upon you, and you will receive her inheritance.
Or, if you wish, you may affirm your accusation and perform mula'anah (mutual cursing) with her closest living relative, and in that case, you will have no share in her inheritance."
5695 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو اَلْجَوْزَاءِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
فِي رَجُلٍ قَذَفَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَجَاءَ وَ قَدْ تُوُفِّيَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ قَالَ "يُخَيَّرُ وَاحِدَةً مِنِ اِثْنَتَيْنِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَلْزَمْتَ نَفْسَكَ اَلذَّنْبَ فَيُقَامُ فِيكَ اَلْحَدُّ وَ تُعْطَى اَلْمِيرَاثَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَقْرَرْتَ فَلاَعَنْتَ أَدْنَى قَرَابَتِهَا إِلَيْهَا وَ لاَ مِيرَاثَ لَكَ".
