10- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
أُتِيَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) بِامْرَأَةٍ بِكْرٍ زَعَمُوا أَنَّهَا زَنَتْ فَأَمَرَ النِّسَاءَ فَنَظَرْنَ إِلَيْهَا فَقُلْنَ هِيَ عَذْرَاءُ فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لأضْرِبَ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا خَاتَمٌ مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَكَانَ يُجِيزُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) شَهَادَةَ النِّسَاءِ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا.
10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has narrated the following:
“Abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali, Alayhi al-Salam, issued a judgment. It was in the case of a virgin woman who was accused of fornication. He (the Imam) commanded certain women to examine her. They reported about her to be a virgin. He (the Imam) issued a judgment that said, ‘I am not to penalize one on whom Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has placed a seal. 5 He (the Imam) accepted the testimony of women in such cases.”
