Bayhaqi 17512 — One from whom the smell of drink is found

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: مَا ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْخَمْرِ إِلَّا أَخِيرًا، لَقَدْ غَزَا غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ فَغَشِيَ حُجْرَتَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ أَبُو عَلْقَمَةَ بْنُ الْأَعْوَرِ السُّلَمِيُّ، وَهُوَ سَكْرَانُ، حَتَّى قَطَعَ بَعْضَ عُرَى الْحُجْرَةِ، فَقَالَ: " مَنْ هَذَا؟ " فَقِيلَ: أَبُو عَلْقَمَةَ سَكْرَانُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لِيَقُمْ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ، فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى يَرُدَّهُ إِلَى رَحْلِهِ " وَهَذَا إِنْ صَحَّ فَقَوْلُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: لَمْ يَقِتْ فِي الْخَمْرِ حَدًّا يَعْنِي: لَمْ يُوَقِّتْهُ لَفْظًا وَقَدْ وَقَّتَهُ فِعْلًا وَذَلِكَ يُرَدُّ، وَإِنَّمَا لَمْ يَعْرِضْ لَهُ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ، بَعْدَ دُخُولِهِ دَارَ الْعَبَّاسِ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ ⦗٥٤٧⦘ يَكُنْ ثَبَتَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدُّ بِإِقْرَارٍ مِنْهُ أَوْ بِشَهَادَةِ عُدُولٍ، وَإِنَّمَا لُقِيَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ يَمِيلُ فَظُنَّ بِهِ السُّكْرُ، فَلَمْ يَكْشِفْ عَنْهُ وَتَرَكَهُ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) punished the drinker only at a later stage. He (peace and blessings be upon him) went on the expedition of Tabuk, and at night Abu Alqamah bin al-A'war al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him), dead drunk, came upon his (peace and blessings be upon him) chamber, until he cut some of the chamber's ropes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who is this?" It was said: Abu Alqamah, in a state of intoxication. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let someone take hold of him and leave him at his mount."
If this is authentically established from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), then the meaning is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not fix a prescribed punishment for wine in words, but he fixed it in practice. Nor does this contradict the hadith that preceded, in which a man was seen staggering drunk in the road and, as they were bringing him to him (peace and blessings be upon him), he ran off to Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him); for the prescribed punishment had not been established against him by his own confession or by the testimony of upright witnesses, and it was only presumed that he was intoxicated, so he left him.
