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»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I do not know whether Tubba' was a Prophet or not, and I do not know whether Dhul-Qarnayn was a Prophet or not, and I do not know whether the prescribed punishments (hudood) are expiations for the people or not."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَدْرِي تُبَّعٌ أَنَبِيًّا كَانَ أَمْ لَا؟ وَمَا أَدْرِي ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ أَنَبِيًّا كَانَ أَمْ لَا؟ وَمَا أَدْرِي الْحُدُودُ كَفَّارَاتٌ لِأَهْلِهَا أَمْ لَا؟»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I do not know if he (the person being followed) was a righteous person or not, and I do not know if Dhul-Qarnayn was a prophet or not, and I do not know if the prescribed punishments are an expiation for those who receive them or not."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَدْرِي أَتُبَّعٌ كَانَ لَعِينًا أَمْ لَا وَمَا أَدْرِي أَذُو الْقَرْنَيْنِ كَانَ نَبِيًّا أَمْ لَا وَمَا أَدْرِي الْحُدُودُ كَفَّارَةٌ لِأَهْلِهَا أَمْ لَا؟»  

"مَا أَدْرِى أَتُبَّعٌ لَعِينًا كَانَ أَمْ لَا؟ ، وَما أَدْرِى ذَا الْقَرْنَين أَنَبيًا كَانَ أَمْ لَا؟ ، وَما أَدْرِى الحدودَ كَفاراتٍ لأَهلِها أمْ لَا".
