Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
The meaning of "sahib shart" is "the one possessing signs," just as soldiers have specific distinguishing marks.
Hazrat Qais bin Sa'd radi Allahu anhu used to remain in the presence of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and would implement his sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's matters and commands.
Some of them are extremely intelligent and wise.
They are granted permission by the supreme authority to pass judgments regarding hudud (prescribed punishments) and qisas (retaliatory punishments).
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has indicated this very point through this hadith.
