Think carefully before you act as your actions can have consequences even if you regret them afterwards .

This hadith is about a discussion between the companions of Prophet Muhammad regarding two people, Ma'iz ibn Malik and al-Ghamidiyyah. They were both guilty of a sin and confessed to it, but were still pursued for punishment. The companions discussed that if they had not withdrawn after their confession, then they would not have been punished. In the end, they were stoned after their fourth confession. This hadith teaches us that even if someone confesses to a sin or crime, it does not mean that they will be exempt from punishment according to Islamic law. It also teaches us that we should think carefully before we act as our actions can have consequences even if we regret them afterwards.
