Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30791 — Carrying out a hadd punishment

Hakim bin Umayr said: Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote: Beware! No commander of an army or commander of a detachment is to give anyone the lashes of a prescribed punishment (hadd) until the road to the city comes into view, lest the zeal and pride of Satan seize him and he go over to the disbelievers.
