The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I do not know whether Tubba was a cursed or not. And, I do not know whether Dhu al-Qarnayn was a Prophet or not. And, I do not know whether hudud (capital punishments) ˹serve˺ as expiation for those are deserve them."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَدْرِي أَتُبَّعُ لَعِينًا كَانَ أَمْ لَا وَمَا أَدْرِي ذُو الْقَرْنَيْنِ نَبِيًّا كَانَ أَمْ لَا وَمَا أَدْرِي الْحُدُودُ كَفَّارَاتٌ لِأَهْلِهَا أَمْ لَا»
