Hadith text

Narrated Muhammad bin 'Amr Al-Aslami that his father Hamza said:'Umar (ra) sent him (i.e. Hamza) as a Sadaqa / Zakat collector. A man had committed illegal sexual intercourse with the slave girl of his wife. Hamza took (personal) sureties for the adulterer till they came to 'Umar. 'Umar had lashed the adulterer one hundred lashes. 'Umar confirmed their claim (that the adulterer had already been punished) and excused him because of being Ignorant. Jarir Al-Ash'ath said to Ibn Mas'ud regarding renegades (i.e., those who became infidels after embracing Islam), "Let them repent and take (personal) sureties for them." They repented and their relatives stood sureties for them. According to Hammad, if somebody stands surety for another person and that person dies, the person giving surety will be released from responsibility. According to Al-Hakam, his responsibilities continues

Muhammad bin Amr Al-Aslami bataate hain, apne waalid Hamza ke hawale se: Umar ne unhe (Hamza ko) Zakat jama karne wale ke tor par bheja. Ek shaks ne apni biwi ki launDi se zina kiya tha. Hamza ne zina karne wale ke liye kuch logon ki zamanat li jab tak woh Umar tak pahunche. Umar ne zina karne wale ko sau kode maare. Umar ne unke daawe (ke zina karne wale ko pehle hi saza mil chuki hai, is dawe) ki tasdeeq ki aur usse na-samajhi ki wajah se maaf kar diya. Jarir Al-Ash'ath ne murtad logon (jo Islam qubool karke phir kaafir ho gaye) ke baare mein Ibn Mas'ud se kaha: "Unhe tauba karne dijiye aur unki (personal) zamanat li jaaye." Woh tauba kar liye aur unke rishtedaron ne unki zamanat li. Hammad ke mutabiq, agar koi kisi doosre shaks ki zamanat le aur woh shaks mar jaaye, zamanat lene wala apni zimmedaari se azaad ho jataa hai. Al-Hakam ke mutabiq, uski zimmedaari jaari rehti hai.
