Chapter 40 · Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud)حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ مُوسَى الْفَزَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: لَا أَدِي أَوْ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَدِيَ مَنْ أَقَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَدًّا إِلَّا شَارِبَ الْخَمْرِ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَسُنَّ فِيهِ شَيْئًا إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْءٌ قُلْنَاهُ نَحْنُ .

I shall not pay blood-money or (he said): I am not going to pay blood-money for him on whom I inflicted the prescribed punishment except for the one who drank wine, for the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم did not prescribe anything definite. It is a thing which we have decided (by agreement) ourselves.
