Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ فُورَكٍ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا زُهَيْرٌ ثنا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ هُبَيْرَةَ وَأَصْحَابِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْجِعَةِ وَالْجِعَةُ شَرَابٌ يُصْنَعُ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ حَتَّى يُسْكِرَ
English Translation
Narrations about the Prophet's emphasis on avoiding the application of hudud wherever possible. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Ward off the hudud from the Muslims as much as you can. If there is a way out for the accused, let him go, for it is better for the imam to err in pardoning than to err in punishing."
