Mishkat al-Masabih #3425
Prescribed Punishments
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أقيلوا ذَوي الهيآت عثراتهم إِلَّا الْحُدُود» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
‘A’isha reported the Prophet as saying, “Forgive the people of good qualities their slips, but not faults to which prescribed penalties apply.”
Abu Dawud transmitted it.
