Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " تَعَافَوُا الْحُدُودَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتُونِي بِهِ فَمَا أَتَانِي مِنْ حَدٍّ فَقَدْ وَجَبَ " .
Translation
Amr ibn Shuayb reported from his father and grandfather that the Prophet said, “Overlook offenses that warrant prescribed punishments before you bring them to me. Once a prescribed offense is brought to me, its punishment becomes binding.”
