الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" إِنْ سَكِرَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ ، ثُمَّ إِنْ سَكِرَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ ، فَإِنْ عَادَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ فَاضْرِبُوا عُنُقَهُ " . قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ : فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجُلٍ سَكْرَانَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ ، فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever drinks alcohol, flog him. If he drinks again, then flog him again. If he drinks a third time, then flog him again. And if he drinks a fourth time, then kill him. Imam Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) says: However, a man was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who had drunk alcohol for the fourth time, yet the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) let him go.
