حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ عَنْ أَبِي شَجَرَةَ کَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِقَامَةُ حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مَطَرِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً فِي بِلَادِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2537
It was narrated from Ibn’ Umar that the Messenger of Allah said: "Carrying out one of the legal punishments prescribed by Allah is better than if it were to rain for forty nights in the land of Allah, Glorified is He."
