Chapter: Imprisoning him when suspected, and releasing him once his hardship is known and he swears to it
Bayhaqi 11292 — Imprisoning him when suspected, and releasing him once
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْفَتْحِ الْعُمَرِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ السَّقَطِيُّ بِمَكَّةَ، ثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: " إِنَّمَا الْحَبْسُ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لِلْإِمَامِ، فَمَا حَبَسَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ جَوْرٌ ".
Abu Ja'far (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Detention is only until the matter becomes clear to the ruler (imam); once the matter has become clear, keeping him detained after that is injustice.
