كَانَ جَالِساً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَ أَنَا مَعَهُ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ رَجُلٍ يُضْرَبُ صَلَاةَ الْغَدَاةِ فِي يَوْمٍ شَدِيدِ الْبَرْدِ قَالَ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا فَقَالُوا رَجُلٌ يُضْرَبُ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ فِي مِثْلِ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ إِنَّهُ لَا يُضْرَبُ أَحَدٌ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْحُدُودِ فِي الشِّتَاءِ إِلَّا فِي آخِرِ سَاعَةٍ مِنَ النَّهَارِ وَ لَا فِي الصَّيْفِ إِلَّا فِي أَبْرَدِ مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ النَّهَارِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Safwan, from Al Husayn Bin Atiyya, from Hisham Bin Ahmad, from Al-Abd Al-Salih<sup>asws</sup> (7<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>), said, ‘He<sup>asws</sup> was seated in the Masjid, and I was with him, so he<sup>asws</sup> heard the voice of a man being whipped, at the morning Prayer on a day of intense cold. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What is this?’ So they said, ‘A man being whipped’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Glory be to Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! During a time like this? They should not whip anyone with regards to anything from the Penalties during the winter except during the last hour of the day, nor in the summer except during the coldest time of what happens from the day’.
