Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30299 — The hadd punishment for wine: how

Abu Abd al-Rahman said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Some people of al-Sham drank wine. At that time Yazid bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) was their commander, and those people said: It is lawful for us, and they interpreted this verse: "There is no blame on those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten" [Al-Ma'idah: 93]. Yazid bin Abi Sufyan wrote to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about this. Sayyiduna Umar wrote: Send them to me before they corrupt those who are with you. When they came, Sayyiduna Umar consulted about them. It was said to him: O Commander of the Believers! We think that these people have lied about Allah and have laid down in their religion what Allah has not permitted, so have them killed. During this Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) remained silent. Sayyiduna Umar asked: O Abu al-Hasan! What do you say? Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: My view is that you should call on them to repent. If they repent, give them eighty lashes each for drinking wine, and if they do not repent, have them killed, for they have forged a lie against Allah and have laid down in their religion what Allah has not permitted. Sayyiduna Umar called on them to repent and they repented, and at this he gave them eighty lashes each.
