When the hudud (the fixed Qur'anic punishments) are carried out, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A hudud (the fixed Qur'anic punishments) established in the land is better for it than forty mornings of rain.لحد يقام في الأرض خير لها من أن تنفر أربعين صباحا
The hudud (the fixed Qur'anic punishments) bring a blessing to the land; there is good rain in it.
