Hadith 117
۞
Hadith.3260 - Al-Sakuni narrated through his chain of transmission that Commander of the Faithful (as) said
"None of you should intercede in the enforcement of a legal punishment (hadd) once it has reached the Imam, for the Imam has no authority to waive it through intercession.
However, before it reaches the Imam, it is still under the control of those involved, so intercede in cases that have not yet reached the Imam, if you see signs of remorse.
Intercede in matters that have not reached the Imam, as long as they do not involve a legal punishment, and if the one being interceded for shows repentance.
Do not intercede in the right of any Muslim-or anyone else-except with their permission."
3260 - رَوَى اَلسَّكُونِيُّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ
قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "لاَ يَشْفَعَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي حَدٍّ إِذَا بَلَغَ اَلْإِمَامَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَمْلِكُهُ فِيمَا يُشْفَعُ فِيهِ وَ مَا لَمْ يَبْلُغِ اَلْإِمَامَ فَإِنَّهُ يَمْلِكُهُ فَاشْفَعْ فِيمَا لَمْ يَبْلُغِ اَلْإِمَامَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ اَلنَّدَمَ وَ اِشْفَعْ فِيمَا لَمْ يَبْلُغِ اَلْإِمَامَ فِي غَيْرِ اَلْحَدِّ مَعَ رُجُوعِ اَلْمَشْفُوعِ لَهُ وَ لاَ تَشْفَعْ فِي حَقِّ اِمْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ".
