حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَالِمٍ الْمَفْلُوجُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَادِقٍ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ نَاجِدٍ ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَقِيمُوا حُدُودَ اللَّهِ فِي الْقَرِيبِ وَالْبَعِيدِ وَلَا تَأْخُذْكُمْ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ " .
´It was narrated from `Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Carry out the legal punishments on relatives and strangers, and do not let the fear of blame stop you from carrying out the command of Allah (SWT).”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
A law can only succeed in keeping society correct when its implementation is equal upon everyone and no one is exempt from it.
➋
“Near and far” refers, relatively, to the closeness or distance of a person’s relationship with the rulers. Likewise, anything in a non-Islamic society that can save a criminal from the grip of the law becomes ineffective in an Islamic society—for example: wealth, property, or rank and position, etc.
➌
When administering justice and punishing a criminal, only the pleasure of Allah should be kept in view, not whether people will criticize, object, or find fault.
