[Machine] Ali came with a woman from Bishara in al-Hamdaniyah, and he had intercourse with her until she gave birth. When she gave birth, he said, "Bring me the closest women to her." So he gave her child to her and then he beat and stoned her. He said, "I beat her according to the Book of Allah and stoned her according to the Sunnah." Then he said, "Whichever woman has her child blamed on her or if there is an accusation, the Imam is the first to stone, then the people. But if the witnesses testify against her, then the witnesses are the first to stone, then the Imam, then the people."
