1463. Abū Burdah bin Niyār
narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "No one is to be lashed more than ten lashes except for a legal punishment among Allāh's punishments." (Saḥīḥ)
[He said:] Ibn Lahī'ah reported this Hadīth from Bukair and he was mistaken in it. He said: "From 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Jābir bin 'Abdullāh, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ." This is a mistake. What is correct is the narration of Al-Laith bin Sa'd. It should be: "Abdur-Raḥman bin Jābir bin 'Abdullāh from Abū Burdah bin Niyār, from the Prophet ﷺ."
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is [Hasan] Gharīb, we do not know of it except as a narration of Bukair bin Al-Ashajj. The people of knowledge differ over At-Ta'zīr, and the best thing reported about At-Ta'zīr is this Hadīth.

Commentary
This narration indicates that no offender should be given a physical punishment of more than ten lashes except if the offense he has committed is one for which a "Hadd" has been prescribed.
