وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -«اِدْفَعُوا اَلْحُدُودَ، مَا وَجَدْتُمْ لَهَا مَدْفَعًا» أَخْرَجَهُ اِبْنُ مَاجَهْ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ ضَعِيفٌ 11 ضعيف
“Avert the infliction of the prescribed punishment as long as you find a way out (i.e. to avoid their infliction). Related by Ibn Majah with a weak chain of narrators.”
