It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Burdah bin Niyar (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "It is not permissible for anyone to strike anyone more than ten lashes, except when carrying out one of the prescribed punishments (hudud) of Allah."
