والذين يرمون المحصنات ثم لم ياتوا باربعة شهداء فاجلدوهم ثمانين جلدة ولا تقبلوا لهم شهادة ابدا واولئك هم الفاسقون

And those who launch A charge against chaste women, And produce not four witnesses (To support their allegations),— Flog them with eighty stripes; And reject their evidence Ever after: for such men Are wicked transgressors;—
