Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أنبأ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ وَهِيَ مِنْ خَمْسٍ
English Translation
Discussion of the scholarly views on theft during times of famine. Umar ibn al-Khattab suspended the hadd for theft during the Year of Ashes (the year of severe famine) because the dire circumstances created a degree of necessity. Some scholars cited this as evidence for suspending hudud during widespread hardship.
