1059 – Ibn ʿUmar, may Allah be pleased with him, related: “The Prophet ﷺ ordered lashing and banishment, Abū Bakr ordered lashing and banishment, and ʿUmar ordered lashing and banishment.” Al-Tirmidhī recorded it, and all the narrators are reliable, though scholars have differed as to whether the report is mawqūf (ending with Ibn ʿUmar) or marfūʿ (traced back to the Prophet).(1)

Grade of the hadith
The hadith is ṣaḥīḥ (authentic).

It was transmitted by al-Tirmidhī and al-Bayhaqī through several routes from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Idrīs, from ʿUbayd Allāh, from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar with this wording.

Al-Tirmidhī said: “It is a gharīb (singular) report. More than one narrator transmitted it from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Idrīs with a marfūʿ chain, while some narrated it from him—through ʿUbayd Allāh, from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar—as: ‘Abū Bakr ordered lashing and banishment, and ʿUmar ordered lashing and banishment.’”

I say: The chain is sound, for ʿAbd Allāh ibn Idrīs al-Azdī is trustworthy and is relied upon in the two Ṣaḥīḥs. The majority transmitted it from him as marfūʿ, and those who stopped it at Ibn ʿUmar do not contradict them; rather, the marfūʿ version contains an additional detail, and such additions are accepted—especially when they come from several transmitters. The hadith was also declared authentic by Ibn al-Qaṭṭān and al-Ḥākim, who said it meets the criteria of the two Shaykhs.

Glossary of the hadith
· gharraba: with an open ghayn, a doubled rāʾ, and a final bāʾ. The verb garraba–yugarribu–taghrīban means to expel someone from his homeland; in legal usage it refers to the judge’s ruling that the offender be exiled from his town for one year.
