Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْبَاغَنْدِيُّ ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ لَقَدْ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ وَمَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ يَعْنِي لَمْ يَكُنْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ خَمْرُ الْعِنَبِ حِينَ حُرِّمَتْ
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.
