It is narrated from Hazrat Tariq bin Shihab that he said: Hazrat Khalid bin Walid flogged a man as a prescribed punishment (hadd). The next day, he flogged another man as a prescribed punishment. A man said, "By Allah, this is a trial (fitnah); yesterday you flogged a man as hadd, and today you flogged another man as hadd." Hazrat Khalid bin Walid said, "This is not a trial. A trial is when countless sins are committed in a land, and a person wishes to go to a land where sins are not committed, but he does not find such a land."
