Hadith 2348
حَدَّثَنَا
هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ
قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ،"أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ شَرِبَ خَمْرًا فَضَرَبَهُ بِجَرِيدَتَيْنِ"، ثُمَّ فَعَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ: اسْتَشَارَ النَّاسَ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ: أَخَفُّ الْحُدُودِ: ثَمَانِينَ، قَالَ: فَفَعَلَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man who had drunk alcohol was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck him with two sticks. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) did the same. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became the Caliph, he consulted the Companions regarding the punishment for the one who drinks alcohol. Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The least prescribed punishment is eighty lashes (in the case of slander)." Thus, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) enforced this.
Hadith 2349
Hudhayn bin Mundhir Qashi narrated that I was present with Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) when Walid bin Uqbah (the half-brother of Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him) was brought. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave forty lashes to the one who drank alcohol, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also gave forty lashes, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave eighty lashes, and all are Sunnah.
