2. Amirul Momineen (a.s.) relates that the Almighty Allah will spread a foul stench in the air on the Day of Judgment. This stench will irritate everyone assembled over there to an extent that people will start suffocating because of it. A caller will ask, “Do you know from where this stench is coming which is troubling you so much?” People will reply, “We don’t know from where it is coming but we know that it is very suffocating indeed.” They will be told, “This is the smell of the genitals of adulterers. Those who committed adultery and passed away from the world without repenting. May Allah’s curse be upon them. You all should curse them.” Each and everyone gathered over there will say, “May Allah’s curse be upon them.”

3. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from Muhammad b. Abi ’Umayr from Muawiyah b. Ammar from Sabah b. Sayabeh who said: The narrator was with Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) when Imam (a.s.) was asked, “Is an adulterer a believer at the time of committing that sin?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “When he is committing the sin, faith is taken away from him and returned to him after the act.” Imam was asked, “What about one who wants to commit the sin once again?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “In most cases, even if people try to do so they are not able to.”

4. It is narrated that Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) said, “When a person commits fornication, he is not alone and the Shaitaan accompanies him. Both of them commit this sin together. The semen is of one person only but the child belongs to both of them. Hence he is a partner of Shaitaan.”

5. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Uthman b. Isa from Ibn Muskan from Muhammad b. Muslim from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The Almighty Allah will not even talk to three kinds of persons, they will not be purified and will be given severe chastisement. One of them is that adulterer woman who used to commit fornication on the bed of her husband.”

6. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali Majluwayh from Ali b. Ibrahim from Muhammad b. Abi ’Umayr from Ishaq b. Hilal from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Should I tell you about the greatest form of fornication? It is when a woman commits adultery on the bed of her husband and becomes pregnant with the child of other man. Later on, this child is associated with her husband. The Almighty Allah will not speak to this woman on the Day of Judgment nor look at her with mercy. She will not be purified and get a severe chastisement.”

7. It was narrated to me by Ali b. Ahmad b. Abdillah from his father from his grandfather Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Uthman b. Isa from Ali b. Salim from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The punishment of that person will be the severest who released his semen in a womb, which was prohibited for him.”

8. And from the previous chain from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from Ibn Fadhal from Abdillah b. Bukayr who said: The narrator asked Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.), “What is meant by the saying of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.): When a person commits fornication, the soul of faith is taken away from him?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The soul separated from him is the same that is discussed in this verse: We granted them piety through this soul.”

9. It is narrated that Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) said, “There is no good in illegitimate children. Neither there is good in their skin nor in their hair, flesh, blood or any other thing.”
