(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الدَّانَاجِ ، عَنْ
حُضَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ وَعْلَةَ ، أَنَّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عُقْبَةَ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ الصُّبْحَ أَرْبَعًا ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَقَالَ : أَزِيدُكُمْ ؟ ! فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُجْلَدَ ، فَقَالَ
عَلِيٌّ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ : قُمْ يَا حَسَنُ فَاجْلِدْهُ ، قَالَ : وَفِيمَ أَنْتَ وَذَاكَ ؟ ! فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : بَلْ عَجَزْتَ وَوَهَنْتَ ، قُمْ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ فَاجْلِدْهُ ، فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ فَجَلَدَهُ ، وَعَلِيٌّ يَعُدُّ ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ ، قَالَ لَهُ : أَمْسِكْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْخَمْرِ أَرْبَعِينَ ، وَضَرَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ وَعُمَرُ صَدْرًا مِنْ خِلَافَتِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَتَمَّهَا عُمَرُ ثَمَانِينَ ، وَكُلٌّ سُنَّةٌ " .
Huzain (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Walid bin Uqbah led the people in the Fajr prayer and performed four rak'ahs instead of two. Then he turned to the people and said, "Perhaps I have increased the number of rak'ahs in the prayer?" This matter was presented before Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him), so he ordered the punishment for drinking wine to be carried out on Walid. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), "Hasan! Stand up and flog him." He said, "You cannot do this; order someone else to do it." He replied, "In reality, you have become weak and incapable, so Abdullah bin Ja'far! You stand up and carry out the punishment on him." Thus, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) kept flogging him and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) kept counting. When forty lashes were completed, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Stop. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave forty lashes to the one who drank wine, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) also gave forty lashes, but Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave eighty lashes, and both are Sunnah."
