[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a gathering when he said, "Pledge allegiance to me that you will not associate anything with Allah." And he recited the verse to them and said, "Whoever fulfills it will have his reward with Allah, and whoever commits anything of it will be punished, which will be an expiation for him. And whoever commits anything of it and Allah conceals it for him, then it is up to Allah, if He wills, to forgive him, and if He wills, to punish him." This is the narration of Imam al-Shafi'i, recorded in Saheeh from a group of narrators from Sufyan ibn Uyaynah. Al-Shafi'i said in the narration of Abu Sa'eed, "I have not heard a narration regarding the prescribed punishments clearer than this, and it has been narrated from the Prophet ﷺ that he said, 'Who knows, perhaps the prescribed punishments were revealed as an expiation for sins."  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَقَالَ بَايِعُونِي عَلَى أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللهِ شَيْئًا وَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْآيَةَ وَقَالَ فَمَنْ وَفَى مِنْكُمْ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَعُوقِبَ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لَهُ وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَسَتَرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ إِلَى اللهِ إِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ لَمْ أَسْمَعْ فِي الْحُدُودِ حَدِيثًا أَبْيَنَ مِنْ هَذَا وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ الْحُدُودَ نَزَلَتْ كَفَّارَةً لِلذُّنُوبِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿWhoever commits a sin in this world and is punished therein. Allah is too generous to repeat His punishment of His slave [in the Hereafter], whoever commits a sin in this world and Allah conceals it and pardons him, Allah is too generous to retract His pardon when He has granted it.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 775)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَصَابَ فِي الدُّنْيَا ذَنْبًا فَعُوقِبَ بِهِ فَاللهُ أَعْدَلُ مِنْ أَنْ يُثَنِّي عُقُوبَتَهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ وَمَنْ أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا فِي الدُّنْيَا فَسَتَرَهُ الله عَلَيْهِ وَعَفَا عَنْهُ فَاللهُ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَعُودَ فِي شَيْءٍ قَدْ عَفَا عَنْهُ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ: "Whoever commits a sin and the prescribed punishment for that sin is carried out on them, then it serves as an expiation for that sin."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَصَابَ ذَنْبًا فَأُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ حَدُّ ذَلِكَ الذَّنْبِ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَتُهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "I don't know if Tubba was blind or not. And I don't know if Dhul-Qarnayn was a prophet or not. And I don't know if the prescribed punishments are expiations for those who commit them or not. This is how it is."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَدْرِي تُبَّعٌ أَلَعِينًا كَانَ أَمْ لَا؟ وَمَا أَدْرِي ذُو الْقَرْنَيْنِ أَنَبِيًّا كَانَ أَمْ لَا؟ وَمَا أَدْرِي الْحُدُودَ كَفَّارَاتٌ لِأَهْلِهَا أَمْ لَا فَهَكَذَا  

[Machine] When Ali stoned (someone) for adultery, I said, "She died due to the severity of the punishment sometimes." He then took hold of my garment and said, "Indeed, whoever commits an offense that warrants the punishment, the punishment shall be carried out upon him, and it will serve as an expiation for him."  

حِينَ رَجَمَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ شَرَاحَةَ قُلْتُ مَاتَتْ عَلَى شَرِّ أَحْيَانِهَا قَالَ فَأَخَذَ بِثَوْبِي ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مَنْ أَتَى شَيْئًا مِنْ حَدٍّ فَأُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدُّ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَتُهُ  

[Machine] Ali imposed a limit on a man, and the people started cursing and insulting him. Ali said, "As for his sin, he will not be questioned."  

أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ؓ أَقَامَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ حَدًّا فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَسُبُّونَهُ وَيَلْعَنُونَهُ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ أَمَّا عَنْ ذَنْبِهِ هَذَا فَلَا يُسْأَلُ
