Hadith 4486
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ مُوسَى الْفَزَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : " لَا أَدِي أَوْ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَدِيَ مَنْ أَقَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَدًّا إِلَّا شَارِبَ الْخَمْرِ ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَسُنَّ فِيهِ شَيْئًا إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْءٌ قُلْنَاهُ نَحْنُ " .
Ali said: I shall not pay blood-money or (he said): I am not going to pay blood-money for him on whom I inflicted the prescribed punishment except for the one who drank wine, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not prescribe anything definite. It is a thing which we have decided (by agreement) ourselves.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Refer to the previous chapter on this issue.
The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) were above implementing anything in the Shariah merely based on their own opinion.
They determined this prescribed limit through ijtihad (independent juristic reasoning) and consultation, in accordance with the principles of the Shariah.
And this principle is absolutely correct: when carrying out a prescribed punishment (hadd), it is necessary to take into account the criminal’s health and endurance.
