(زِيادَةُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ في عُقوبَةِ شُرْبِ الخَمْرِ)
(Increase by Umar رضي الله عنه in the punishment for drinking alcohol)
Mishkat al-Masabih 3616 — Increase by Umar رضي الله عنه
وَعَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: كَانَ يُؤْتَى بِالشَّارِبِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِمْرَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ فَنَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ بِأَيْدِينَا وَنِعَالِنَا وَأَرْدِيَتِنَا حَتَّى كَانَ آخِرُ إِمْرَةِ عُمَرَ فَجَلَدَ أَرْبَعِينَ حَتَّى إِذَا عَتَوْا وَفَسَقُوا جَلَدَ ثَمَانِينَ. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
As-Sa’ib b. Yazid said:When a drinker was brought in the time of God’s Messenger, during Abu Bakr’s Caliphate and in the beginning of ‘Umar’s Caliphate, we beat him with our hands, sandals and cloaks, but at the end of ‘Umar’s Caliphate he inflicted forty stripes, and when people were immoderate and excessively wicked he inflicted eighty stripes. Bukhari transmitted it.
