Bulugh al-Maram #1408
Hudud
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَرَوَاهُ اَلْبَيْهَقِيُّ: عَنْ عَلِيٍّ - رضى الله عنه - (مِنْ) قَوْلِهِ بِلَفْظِ: { ادْرَأُوا اَلْحُدُودَ بِالشُّبُهَاتِ } 11 - ضعيف جدا أيضا. رواه البيهقي (838).
Al-Baihaqi transmitted on the authority of 'Ali (RAA) that he said, 'Avert the prescribed punishment by rejecting doubtful evidence.'
