(THE PUNISHMENT FOR) THOSE WHO WAGE WAR (AGAINST ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER) FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DISBELIEVERS AND FROM THOSE WHO HAVE TURNED RENEGADES (CONVERTED FROM ISLAM)

CHAPTER 1. What punishment may be inflicted on the person so that he may not commit the same sin again, or so that he may learn good manners.

8:833 Narrated Abu Burda Al-Ansâri:

I heard the Prophet saying, “Do not flog anyone more than ten stripes except if he is involved in a crime necessitating Allah’s legal punishment.”

CHAPTER 2. Slandering the slaves (accusing them for committing adultery)

8:841 Narrated Abü Huraira:

I heard Abul-Qâsim (the Prophet) saying, “If somebody slanders his slave (by accusing him for committing adultery) and the slave is free from what he says, he will be flogged on the Day of Resurrection unless the slave is really as he has described him.”
