عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْمُلَاعِنِ وَ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعَانِ قَالَ يَجْلِسُ الْإِمَامُ مُسْتَدْبِرَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَيُقِيمُهُمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مُسْتَقْبِلَا الْقِبْلَةِ بِحِذَائِهِ وَ يَبْدَأُ بِالرَّجُلِ ثُمَّ الْمَرْأَةِ وَ الَّتِي يَجِبُ عَلَيْهَا الرَّجْمُ تُرْجَمُ مِنْ وَرَائِهَا وَ لَا يُرْجَمُ مِنْ وَجْهِهَا لِأَنَّ الضَّرْبَ وَ الرَّجْمَ لَا يُصِيبَانِ الْوَجْهَ يُضْرَبَانِ عَلَى الْجَسَدِ عَلَى الْأَعْضَاءِ كُلِّهَا .
10. Ali has narrated from his father from ibn abu Nasr from Jamil from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:
“I once asked abu Ja‘far , about the case of a man and woman who are involved in al-Li‘an (condemnation) and about how they do it. He (the Imam) said, ‘The Imam sits with his back to al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah) and they stand in front of him facing al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah) before him and he begins with the man, then the woman. The woman on whom stoning is obligatory, is stoned from her backside and not from her front side; beating and stoning must not affect the face. Other parts of the body can be targeted in both, beating and stoning.’” [Note: Such cases are only applicable after due Islamic judicial process]
