A man who falsely accuses a man whose mother is a polytheist

Ma'mar said that al-Zuhri said: A man of the Muhajirun was slandered in the time of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), while his mother had died in the Jahiliyyah. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had him lashed because of the sanctity of a Muslim.

Al-Sha'bi was asked about a man who slandered another man whose mother was a polytheist. He said: "What is your opinion: if a man were to slander al-Ash'ath, would he not be beaten?"

Hammad reported from Ibrahim concerning a man who says to another man: "You are not your father's," while that man's mother was a slave woman, or a Jew or a Christian. He said: "The hadd is not to be carried out on him."

Abu Ghaniyyah said that al-Hakam said: When a man slanders a man whose mother was a Jew or a Christian, the hadd is not to be carried out on him.
