The punishment for drinking wine

It is narrated from Imam al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him): "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not fix any definitive prescribed punishment (hadd) for drinking wine, until Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) set for it a punishment of forty lashes."
It is narrated from Imam Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna al-Sa'ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) (in view of the worsening situation) fixed eighty lashes, while in the time of Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) sometimes eighty and sometimes forty lashes were given. The situation was that when a person was brought to him who was addicted to drinking and stayed drunk through heavy drinking, he would give him eighty lashes, and when a person was brought who had merely committed an incidental slip or lapse, he would give him forty lashes."

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her) that she heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) advising one of his household. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And keep (at all costs) away from wine, for it is indeed the key to every evil."

Imam Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) states: A reliable report has reached me that Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar and Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with them) used to give forty lashes as the prescribed punishment for drinking wine.

It is narrated from al-Ala bin Badr that a man drank wine or tila' (thick boiled-down grape juice) (the narrator Hushaym was in doubt about this word), so he was brought before Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him). He claimed (in his defence): I only drank something lawful. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) found this statement of his even more serious and grave than his deed. Then he consulted (the Companions) on the matter, and they advised him to give him eighty (80) lashes. Thereafter this very procedure became an established sunnah and prevailing practice after him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever drinks wine, give him eighty lashes."

It is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulaykah that the son of Sayyiduna Nu'ayman was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after he had drunk wine. He (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered those present in the house (to punish him), so they went up to him and beat him with their hands, palm branches and sandals.
This narration is mursal. I (Ibn Hajar) say: Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) recorded this hadith through this same route, but after Ibn Abi Mulaykah he added Sayyiduna Uqbah bin al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) (which makes the narration connected), and at the end of the narration he also related these additional words: "And I myself was among those who beat him."

It is narrated from Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever drinks wine, flog him; then if he repeats (the same act) a fourth time, kill him."
This narration is mursal.
