"Abu Hurairah said: 'Carrying out a Hadd punishment in a land is better for its people than if it were to rain for forty nights." (Daif) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4905)
قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ «إِقَامَةُ حَدٍّ يُعْمَلُ بِأَرْضٍ خَيْرٌ لِأَهْلِهَا مِنْ مَطَرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً» وَهَذَا الصَّوَابُ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
