Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39719 — Reports on the conquest of Makkah

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin al-Azhar (may Allah be pleased with him): I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the year of the Conquest of Makkah when I was a young boy. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was asking about the house of Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him). Then a drunkard was brought to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and they began to strike him with whatever was in their hands. Some struck with a whip, some with sandals, and some with a stick. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw dust on him. Later a drunkard was brought to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and he asked his companions: "How much did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) strike the man whom he (peace and blessings be upon him) struck?" It was estimated at forty, so Sayyiduna Abu Bakr gave forty lashes.
