أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ السَّيَّارِيُّ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الْمُوَجَّهِ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدَانُ أَنْبَأَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
«ادْرَءُوا الْحُدُودَ عَنِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُمْ لِمُسْلِمٍ مَخْرَجًا فَخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهُ فَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ أَنْ يُخْطِئَ فِي الْعَفْوِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يُخْطِئَ بِالْعُقُوبَةِ»
