"عَنْ عُمَرَ بْن الْخَطَّابِ أنه كَتَبَ أَنْ لَا يَحُدَّ أَمِيرُ جَيْشٍ وَلَا أَمِيرُ سَرِيَّةٍ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُسْلمِينَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الدَّرْبَ قَافِلًا؛ فَإِنِّى أَخْشَى أَنْ تَحْمِلَهُ الْحَمِيَّة عَلَى أَنْ يَلْحَقَ بِالْمُشرِكينَ".

"'Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote that no commander of an army or commander of a detachment should impose the prescribed punishment (hadd) on a Muslim man until he has reached the road home (on return), for I fear that zeal may drive him to join the polytheists."
