Hadith record

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Ammar Al Sabaty, (The narrator) says, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah asws saying that the Penalty ( Hadd ) is not inheritance just as the wergil is inherited, and the wealth, and the real estate. But the one from the inheritors stands by it, so he seeks it, so he is his guardian (has a right to do so), and the one who leaves it and does not seek it, so there is no right for him, and that is similar to a man who slanders a man, and for the slandered one is a brother. So if one of the two were to excuse him (the slanderer), that would be (a right) for the other one to seek his right, because she is a mother to both of them together, and the excusing is for both of them together’.
