Al-Qasim narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "As far as you are able, ward off the prescribed punishment (hadd) and the (punishment of) killing from the servants of Allah."
Al-Tabarani recorded it as a report of Abu Nu'aym from al-Mas'udi; he heard from him before he became confused (ikhtilat). But the narrator al-Qasim did not hear from his grandfather, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him).
