Hadith 2368
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنَكْدِرِ، عَنْ ابْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "مَنْ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ حَدٌّ، غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ الذَّنْبُ".
Ibn Khuzaymah bin Thabit narrates from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has had a prescribed punishment carried out upon him (i.e., he has been punished for a crime), then that sin is forgiven for him." (That is, a person upon whom the prescribed punishment has been carried out becomes purified from that sin.)
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 2366 to 2368)
If someone is subjected to the prescribed punishment (hadd) or any other penalty for a major sin (kabirah), then according to the hadith, that serves as expiation (kaffarah) for his sin. Allah Ta’ala is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful; He will not subject him to punishment twice. However, the condition is that he must repent sincerely. And if such a criminal was not subjected to the prescribed punishment and died, then it depends on the will of Allah Ta’ala: if He wills, He may forgive and say, “Go, in the world I concealed your crime, now in the Hereafter I also forgive you,” or if He wills, He may subject him to punishment.
«﴿إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ﴾ [المائده : 118]» “If You punish them, they are Your servants; and if You forgive them, then (O Lord) You are indeed the Mighty, the Wise.”
