Sahih al-Bukhari 6849 (Book 86, Hadith 71) #6584
Maximum Punishment of Ten Stripes

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that the maximum punishment for any crime is ten stripes, unless a legal punishment prescribed by Allah is applicable.

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Jabir: On the authority of others, that the Prophet said, "No Punishment exceeds the flogging of the ten stripes, except if one is guilty of a crime necessitating a legal punishment prescribed by Allah".
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جَابِرٍ، عَمَّنْ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ عُقُوبَةَ فَوْقَ عَشْرِ ضَرَبَاتٍ إِلاَّ فِي حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that the maximum punishment for any crime should not exceed ten stripes, unless a legal punishment prescribed by Allah is applicable. This means that if someone has committed a crime and it has been proven in court, then they may be subject to a more severe form of punishment than just ten stripes. However, this does not mean that people should take justice into their own hands and punish someone without due process or without following the laws set out by Allah. Instead, we must always seek justice through proper channels and ensure that everyone receives fair treatment under the law. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us to respect authority and abide by laws set out by Allah as these are essential components of maintaining peace and order in society.
