2545 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ادْفَعُوا الْحُدُودَ مَا وَجَدْتُمْ لَهُ مَدْفَعًا»

Legal punishment should be awarded only after having complete and definite proofs of the crime committed. In case of doubt, legal punishment cannot be given.
