وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِقَامَةُ حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مَطَرِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً فِي بلادِ الله»
Ibn Umar reported God’s Messenger as saying, “Enforcing one of God’s prescribed punishments is better than forty nights rain in God’s land.”
