2603. It was narrated from 'Ubâdah bin Sâmit that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Whoever among you undergoes a Hadd, his punishment has been brought forward,[1] and it is an expiation for him, otherwise his case rests with Allâh." (Sahih)
2603 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْكُمْ حَدًّا فَعُجِّلَتْ لَهُ عُقُوبَتُهُ، فَهُوَ كَفَّارَتُهُ، وَإِلَّا فَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ»

Any crime which has been punished in this world will be pardoned in the Hereafter. There is a possibility that a person did a crime, but it always remained hidden from the people, or never was proved against him in the court, his exemption from the punishment in the Hereafter is not certain. "His case rests with Allâh" means Allâh may forgive him in lieu of some other great virtuous deed, or He may punish him for his crime to purify him for forgiveness.
