It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A single day of a just ruler is better than sixty years of worship, and a hadd (punishment) prescribed by Allah being carried out in the land with its due right is purer and more blessed than forty mornings of rain."
No one narrated this hadith from Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Affan bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him); Ja'far bin Awn (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it; and this report is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) only with this chain.
