محمد بن علي الباقر عليه السلام

2. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Do not be surprised with a person who murders excessively because his killer is with Allah who will never die.”

Hadith.3547 - Al-Sakuni narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), from his forefathers, peace be upon them: "A person who apostasizes from Islam is to be separated from his wife, his slaughtered meat is not to be eaten, and he is to be given an opportunity to repent for three days. If he repents, he is spared, but if he does not repent, he is killed on the fourth day, provided he is of sound mind."

Hadith.5267 - Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) was asked about a slave who injured two men. Imam (as) said: "He is to be divided between them if his crime equals his full value." It was asked: "What if he injured one man in the morning and another in the evening?" Imam (as) replied: "He is to be divided between them as long as the governor has not ruled regarding the first injured person. But if the governor had already ruled and handed the slave over to the first injured party due to his injury, and then the slave committed another injury afterward, then his liability for that second injury falls upon the latter victim."

Hadith.5099 - In the narration of Al-Sakuni from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), that he said: "The hand of a thief is not to be cut off during a year of drought."

Hadith.5123 - In the narration of Al-Sakuni from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), it is reported: "Indeed, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) crucified a man in Al-Hirah for three days. Then on the fourth day, Imam (as) took him down, prayed over him, and buried him."

3. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who testifies falsely and as a result of which a Muslim’s blood is shed or his wealth is usurped, the testifier will be brought on the Day of Judgment with his face having blackness spread everywhere and having scratches on it. People will know him with his name and lineage. One who testifies truthfully and saves the right of another Muslim, his face will be brightened on the Day of Judgment with its light spreading everywhere on the Day of Judgment. He will also be known to the people with name and lineage. Did you not hear the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: and give upright testimony for Allah?”

Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Islamic zeal will not be destroyed except through infidelity after faith, fornication after chastity, killing someone who is forbidden to kill, or not defending your privacy. God's Prophet (a.s) said: “You can kill whoever sneaks into your house at night, and blind whoever peeks into your house from the top of the wall.” He added: “The Prophet is zealous.”

"If his mother gave birth to him mute, then the full blood money (diyyah) is due. But if his tongue was lost due to an illness or an affliction after he had been able to speak, then the one who cut it off must pay one-third of the diyyah of the tongue."

I asked Imam (as) about a man who commits adultery multiple times in a single day. Imam (as) replied: "If he commits adultery with the same woman multiple times, then only one punishment (hadd) applies to him. However, if he commits adultery with different women in the same day or even in the same hour, then for each woman he has violated, a separate punishment (hadd) applies."

"Either you bring me witnesses, or I will stone you with stones." When the woman saw this, she confessed, so Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) carried out the prescribed punishment (Hadd) on her.

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "There is no compensation (Uqr) upon a fornicator, and there is no punishment upon a woman who was coerced (mukraha)."

"The adulterer should be beaten in the state in which they are found; if they are found unclothed, they are beaten while unclothed, and if they are found clothed, they are beaten while clothed."

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "If it were appropriate for anyone to be stoned twice, it would be the one who commits sodomy (Al-Luti)."

"She is to be lashed half the prescribed punishment, whether she has a husband or does not have a husband."

"The prescribed punishment for Umm Al-Walad (a slave woman who has borne a child for her master) is the same as that of a slave woman if she has not borne a child."

"He is to be lashed with a punishment less than the prescribed limit and must compensate the owner for the value of the animal because he has corrupted it for him. If it is an animal whose meat is consumed, it must be slaughtered, burned, and buried. If it is an animal that is ridden, he must pay its value, be lashed with a punishment less than the prescribed limit, and take it out of the city where he committed the act to another land where it is not known, and sell it there so that he is not disgraced by it."

'O' adulterer,' or 'O' son of an adulteress,' or 'You are not your father's son.'"

"He is liable for one legal punishment for accusing her. As for his statement, 'I have committed adultery with you,' there is no legal punishment for that unless he testifies against himself four times for committing adultery before the Imam."

"He is to be flogged." I asked: "What if she pardons him?" Imam (as) said: "No, and no honor (for him)."

"Whoever carries a weapon at night is considered a highway robber (muharib), unless he is a man who is not known for suspicion or wrongdoing."
