شهادة شارب الخمر: تقبل أم لا؟Is the Testimony of a Drunkard Accepted?
Hadith 23167
٢٣١٦٧ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن منصور عن محمد بن كردوس عن (أبيه) (١) أن رجلًا حُدّ في الخمر، فشهد عند شريح، فسألني عنه فقلت: من خير شبابنا، فأجاز شهادته.
It is narrated from Hazrat Kardus (may Allah have mercy on him) that a young man was punished with the prescribed penalty due to drinking alcohol. Later, he gave testimony before Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him). He inquired about him from me. I said, "He is one of our good young men." So he accepted his testimony.
