176. hadíth
وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: "لاَ يَحِلُّ لِوَالٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ اَلْيَوْمِ اَلْآخِرِ أَنْ يَجْلِدَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ عَشَرَةِ أَسْوَاطٍ إِلاَّ فِي حَدٍّ".
The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "It is not permissible for a ruler who believes in Allah (swt) and the Last Day to administer more than ten lashes except in the case of a legal punishment (hadd)."
