3ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ هَارُونَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (a.s) يَقُولُ مَا خَلَقَ الله حَلالاً وَلا حَرَاماً إِلا وَلَهُ حَدٌّ كَحَدِّ الدَّارِ فَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الطَّرِيقِ فَهُوَ مِنَ الطَّرِيقِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الدَّارِ فَهُوَ مِنَ الدَّارِ حَتَّى أَرْشُ الْخَدْشِ فَمَا سِوَاهُ وَالْجَلْدَةِ وَنِصْفِ الْجَلْدَةِ.

3. Ali has narrated from Muhammad from Yunus from Aban from Sulayman ibn Harun who said: “Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s) said, ‘Allah has not created anything permissible or impermissible except that it has a limit like the limits of a house. What belongs to the road is from the road, and what belongs to the house is from the house. Even the law for the compensation for a scratch, and a penalty in form of a lash or half a lashing.’”
