(1) Regarding the saying: Detained a man on suspicion: Al-Khattabi said: This indicates two types of detention: punishment and precaution. Punishment is only for an obligation, while suspicion-based detention is to investigate further. It was narrated that he detained a man on suspicion for an hour of the day, then released him. [Badhl al-Majhud]

(١)قوله: حبس رجلا في تهمة: قال الخطابي: في هذا دليل على أن الحبس على ضربين: حبس عقوبة وحبس استظهار،فالعقوبة لا تكون إلا في واجب، وأما ما كان في تهمة؛ فإنما يستظهر بذلك يستكشف به عما وراءه، وروي: أنه حبسرجلًا في في تهمة ساعة من نهار، ثم خلى عنه. كذا في (بذل المجهود).
