2540. It was narrated from 'Ubâdah bin Sâmit that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Carry out the legal punishments on relatives and strangers, and do not let the fear of blame stop you from carrying out the command of Allâh." (Hasan)
2540 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَالِمٍ الْمَفْلُوجُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدَةُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَادِقٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ نَاجِدٍ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَقِيمُوا حُدُودَ اللَّهِ فِي الْقَرِيبِ وَالْبَعِيدِ، وَلَا تَأْخُذْكُمْ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ»
