Sahih al-Bukhari 6850 (Book 86, Hadith 72) #6585
Limiting Flogging Punishment

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised not to flog anyone more than ten stripes, except in cases where Allah's legal punishment is necessary.

Narrated Abu Burda Al-Ansari: I heard the Prophet saying, "Do not flog anyone more than ten stripes except if he is involved in a crime necessitating Allah's legal Punishment".
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، أَنَّ بُكَيْرًا، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ، عِنْدَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ إِذْ جَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جَابِرٍ فَحَدَّثَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا بُرْدَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَجْلِدُوا فَوْقَ عَشْرَةِ أَسْوَاطٍ إِلاَّ فِي حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Limit the amount of physical pain inflicted upon people when punishing them for their wrongdoings.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that we should limit the amount of flogging punishment we give to someone. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advised not to flog anyone more than ten stripes, except in cases where Allah's legal punishment is necessary. This means that if someone has committed a crime which requires a specific punishment according to Islamic law, then they can be given the appropriate penalty for it. However, if someone has done something wrong but it does not require a specific legal punishment from Allah, then they should only be given up to ten lashes as a form of discipline and warning. This hadith also teaches us about justice and mercy; even when punishing someone for their wrongdoings, we should still show them mercy by limiting the amount of physical pain inflicted upon them.
