Hadith 23159
٢٣١٥٩ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا أبو الأحوص عن (سماك) (١) عن قابوس بن (مخارق) (٢) عن أبيه قال: بعث (عليٌ) (٣) محمدَ بن أبي بكر أميرًا على مصر، فكتب محمد إلى علي يسأله عن مسلم فجر بنصرانية، فكتب علي: أن أقم الحد على المسلم الذي فجر بالنصرانية، (وادفع) (٤) النصرانية إلى النصارى يقضون فيها ما شاءوا (٥).
Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed Hazrat Muhammad bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) as the governor of Egypt. Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and inquired that a Muslim has committed adultery with a Christian woman; what is the ruling regarding this? Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote in reply that the prescribed punishment (hadd) should be carried out on the Muslim who committed adultery with the Christian woman, and the Christian woman should be handed over to the Christians so that they may decide about her as they wish.
