Arabic text

2532 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا كَانَ لَهَا غُلَامٌ وَجَارِيَةٌ، زَوْجٌ. فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُعْتِقَهُمَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنْ أَعْتَقْتِهِمَا، فَابْدَئِي بِالرَّجُلِ قَبْلَ الْمَرْأَةِ»

Commentary

Literal meaning of Hudud is Limits of Preventives. That is why punishments of crimes are called Hudud, because they stop perpetration of crimes, whereas the actual meaning of Hadd is standing in between two things. A thing which differentiates something from another is called Hadd, as in boundaries of land or boundaries of the house etc. In Islamic law, punishment for transgression and violation of the orders of Allāh is called Hadd. Allāh has described different punishments for different crimes in the Noble Qur'an. Some of them are murder, theft, adultery and robbery.
