English translation

4889. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Pardon matters that may deserve a Hadd punishment, before you bring it to my attention, for whatever is brought to my attention, the Hadd punishment becomes binding." (Da'if)

Arabic text

4885 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «تَعَافَوْا الْحُدُودَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتُونِي بِهِ، فَمَا أَتَانِي مِنْ حَدٍّ فَقَدْ وَجَبَ»

Commentary

For instance, abandon the thief without presenting him before the court of law; the witness against an adulterer might not go to the court or the case against a wine-drinker might not be taken to the court of law. In these conditions, the court of law would not take the case forcibly in its hands. But if the complaint reaches the court, the court will rule on the matter.
