Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 6779 — The Hadd for Drinking Alcohol, How Many
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فَجَلَدَهُ بِجَرِيدَتَيْنِ نَحْوَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ قَالَ وَفَعَلَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ اسْتَشَارَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ أَخَفُّ الْحُدُودِ ثَمَانُونَ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ عُمَرُ
(Second chain) A man who had drunk wine was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He struck him forty times with two palm branches. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) continued this practice, but when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became caliph, he consulted the people. Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) advised that the lightest prescribed punishment is eighty lashes, so Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered that the drunkard be given eighty lashes.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In Islamic Shari‘ah, the lightest prescribed punishment (hadd) is for the one who falsely accuses (of adultery), that is, eighty (80) lashes; all other prescribed punishments (hudud) are more severe than this.
