Show mercy by avoiding someone's face while punishing them; Pray for someone after they die if possible; Remember that everyone has the chance to repent from their sins if they are truly sorry for what they have done wrong in life; Follow laws or customs of punishment when necessary;

This hadith is about the Prophet's actions when he encountered a woman who had committed adultery. He threw a pebble at her, as was the custom of his time, but he instructed others to avoid her face while doing so. After she died, he took her out and prayed for her soul before speaking about repentance in similar terms as another tradition from Buraidah. This hadith teaches us that even though we may be required to punish someone for their wrongdoings according to our laws or customs, we should still show mercy by avoiding their face while punishing them and praying for them after they die if possible. We should also remember that everyone has the chance to repent from their sins if they are truly sorry for what they have done wrong in life.
