(عُقوبَةُ الشّارِبِ عِندَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ)
(Punishment for a drunkard during the time of Umar رضي الله عنه)
Hadith 3624
وَعَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الدَّيْلِمِيِّ قَالَ: إِنَّ عُمَرَ اسْتَشَارَ فِي حَدِّ الْخَمْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ: أَرَى أَنْ تَجْلِدَهُ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا شَرِبَ سَكِرَ وَإِذَا سَكِرَ هَذَى وَإِذَا هذَى افْتَرى فجلدَ عمرُ رَضِي الله عَنهُ فِي حَدِّ الْخَمْرِ ثَمَانِينَ. رَوَاهُ مَالِكٌ
Thaur b. Zaid ad-Dailami told that ‘Umar sought counsel about the prescribed punishment for drinking wine and ‘Ali said to him, “I think you should give one who drinks it eighty lashes, for when he drinks he becomes intoxicated, when he is intoxicated he raves, and when he raves he makes up lies.” So ‘Umar inflicted eighty lashes as the punishment prescribed for drinking wine. Malik transmitted it.
