وَ أَنْزَلَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ الزَّانِي لا يَنْكِحُ إِلَّا...
وَ أَنْزَلَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ الزَّانِي لا يَنْكِحُ إِلَّا زانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً وَ الزَّانِيَةُ لا يَنْكِحُها إِلَّا زانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ وَ حُرِّمَ ذلِكَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَمْ يُسَمِّ اللَّهُ الزَّانِيَ مُؤْمِناً وَ لَا الزَّانِيَةَ مُؤْمِنَةً وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَيْسَ يَمْتَرِي فِيهِ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يَزْنِي الزَّانِي حِينَ يَزْنِي وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يَسْرِقُ السَّارِقُ حِينَ يَسْرِقُ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ خُلِعَ عَنْهُ الْإِيمَانُ كَخَلْعِ الْقَمِيصِ And He -azwj Revealed in Al-Medina [24:3] The adulterer shall not marry any but a adulteress or an idolatress, and (as for) the adulteress, none shall marry her but an adulterer or an idolater; and that is Forbidden to the Momineen (plural of Momin) .
So Allah -azwj did not Name the adulterer as a Momin nor the adulteress as a Momina (Believing woman). And Rasool-Allah -saww said, and the knowledgeable people would not doubt in it, he -saww said: ‘An adulterer would not commit adultery when he is committing adultery while he is a Momin , nor would a Momin be a thief but when he steals Emān departs from him, the Emān would be removed from him like the removal of the shirt’.
وَ نَزَلَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ الَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَناتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَداءَ فَاجْلِدُوهُمْ ثَمانِينَ جَلْدَةً وَ لا تَقْبَلُوا لَهُمْ شَهادَةً أَبَداً وَ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الْفاسِقُونَ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تابُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ ذلِكَ وَ أَصْلَحُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ فَبَرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ مَا كَانَ مُقِيماً عَلَى الْفِرْيَةِ مِنْ أَنْ يُسَمَّى بِالْإِيمَانِ And He -azwj Revealed in Al-Medina [24:4] And those who accuse righteous women then do not bring four witnesses, so flog them eighty stripes, and do not accept any testimony from them ever; and these it is that are the transgressors [24:5] Except those who repent after that and act aright, for surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful .
So Allah -azwj Freed whoever was staying upon the lie from him being Named as being with the Emān .
