The compulsion mentioned in the is forcing a person to do or say something they do not wish to. It is divided into compelling (mulji') and non-compelling (ghayr mulji'). Compelling compulsion is the threat of killing or significant harm to a person or their relatives by someone capable of carrying it out, such as a ruler or a highway robber, and it has its own legal rulings. As for non-compelling compulsion, it has no weight. Actions performed by one's own choice without compulsion do not fall under the compulsion mentioned in the hadith.
