أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ إِمْلَاءً، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، ثنا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يُوَقِّتْ فِي الْخَمْرِ حَدًّا، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فَشَرِبَ رَجُلٌ فَسَكِرَ، فَلُقِيَ يَمِيلُ فِي الْفَجِّ، فَانْطُلِقَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا حَاذَى بِدَارِ الْعَبَّاسِ انْفَلَتَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى الْعَبَّاسِ فَالْتَزَمَهُ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ: " فَعَلَهَا "، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْمُرْ فِيهِ بِشَيْءٍ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not fix any prescribed punishment for wine. He narrated that a man drank wine and became intoxicated; he was staggering about in the road. People were taking him to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When he came level with the house of Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he broke free, went in to Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and clung to him. When this was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said: "Did he really do that?" And he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave no order concerning him.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَمْ يَقِتْ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِمَّا تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْإِسْفِرَايِينِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْبَرَاءِ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ، الَّذِي رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، فَقَالَ: مَجْهُولٌ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَقَدْ رَوَى مَعْنَى، هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ.
Ali bin al-Madini (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about Muhammad bin Ali bin Rukanah, who narrated the previous narration from Ikrimah, and he said: He is majhul (unknown).
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.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ، فَسَمِعَهُ السَّائِبُ يَقُولُ: " إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ مِنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ رِيحَ شَرَابٍ، وَأَنَا سَائِلٌ عَمَّا شَرِبُوا، فَإِنْ كَانَ مُسْكِرًا حَدَدْتُهُمْ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: فَأَخْبَرَنِي مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّهُ حَضَرَهُ يَحُدُّهُمْ.

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ، ثنا الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ: أَتَجْلِدُ فِي رِيحِ الشَّرَابِ؟ فَقَالَ عَطَاءٌ: " إِنَّ الرِّيحَ لَتَكُونُ مِنَ الشَّرَابِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ، فَإِذَا اجْتَمَعُوا جَمِيعًا عَلَى شَرَابٍ وَاحِدٍ فَسَكِرَ أَحَدُهُمْ، جُلِدُوا جَمِيعًا الْحَدَّ تَامًّا " قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَقَوْلُ عَطَاءٍ مِثْلُ قَوْلِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.
Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said to Ata (may Allah have mercy on him): If the smell of drink comes from someone, would you flog him? He said: The smell of drink is nothing; but if they all drank something together and even one of them became intoxicated from it, I would give them all the full prescribed punishment.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُؤَمَّلِ، ثنا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَصْرِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، أنبأ يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا بِحِمْصَ فَقَالُوا لِي: اقْرَأْ، فَقَرَأْتُ سُورَةَ يُوسُفَ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: وَاللهِ مَا هَكَذَا أَنْزَلَهَا اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَقَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: وَيْحَكَ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " أَحْسَنْتَ " وَأَنْتَ تَقُولُ لِي مَا تَقُولُ قَالَ: فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أُكَلِّمُهُ إِذْ وَجَدْتُ مِنْهُ رِيحَ الْخَمْرِ، فَقُلْتُ: تُكَذِّبُ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَتَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ، أَمَا وَاللهِ لَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ حَتَّى أَجْلِدَكَ الْحَدَّ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَعْمَشِ، وَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ لَمْ يَجْلِدْهُ حَتَّى ثَبَتَ عِنْدَهُ شُرْبُهُ مَا يُسْكِرُ بِبَيِّنَةٍ أَوِ اعْتِرَافٍ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was sitting in Hims and the people said: Recite the Qur'an to us. I recited Surah Yusuf, and a man said: By Allah, it was not revealed like this. I said: Woe to you! I recited it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Very good," and you say this? While I was still speaking, I noticed the smell of wine on him, so I said: You drink wine and deny the Book of Allah? By Allah, I will not let you go home until I give you the prescribed punishment.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ السُّكَّرِيُّ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا، أَنَّ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ اسْتَعْمَلَ قُدَامَةَ بْنَ مَظْعُونٍ عَلَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ، وَهُوَ خَالُ حَفْصَةَ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، فَقَدِمَ الْجَارُودُ سَيِّدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ قُدَامَةَ شَرِبَ فَسَكِرَ، وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ حَدًّا مِنْ حُدُودِ اللهِ حَقًّا عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَرْفَعَهُ إِلَيْكَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: مَنْ شَهِدَ ⦗٥٤٨⦘ مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ: أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، فَدَعَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ: بِمَ تَشْهَدُ؟ فَقَالَ: لَمْ أَرَهُ شَرِبَ، وَلَكِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ سَكْرَانَ يَقِيءُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: لَقَدْ تَنَطَّعْتَ فِي الشَّهَادَةِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ كَتَبَ إِلَى قُدَامَةَ أَنْ يَقْدَمَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ، فَقَدِمَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ الْجَارُودُ فَقَالَ: أَقِمْ عَلَى هَذَا كِتَابَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: أَخَصْمٌ أَنْتَ أَمْ شَهِيدٌ؟ قَالَ: بَلْ شَهِيدٌ، قَالَ: فَقَدْ أَدَّيْتَ الشَّهَادَةَ، فَصَمَتَ الْجَارُودُ حَتَّى غَدَا عَلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ: أَقِمْ عَلَى هَذَا حَدَّ اللهِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: مَا أَرَاكَ إِلَّا خَصْمًا، وَمَا شَهِدَ مَعَكَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ الْجَارُودُ: إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ اللهَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لَتُمْسِكَنَّ لِسَانَكَ أَوْ لَأَسُوءَنَّكَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: إِنْ كُنْتَ تَشُكُّ فِي شَهَادَتِنَا فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى ابْنَةِ الْوَلِيدِ فَاسْأَلْهَا، وَهِيَ امْرَأَةُ قُدَامَةَ، فَأَرْسَلَ عُمَرُ إِلَى هِنْدَ بِنْتِ الْوَلِيدِ يَنْشُدُهَا، فَأَقَامَتِ الشَّهَادَةَ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِقُدَامَةَ: إِنِّي حَادُّكَ، فَقَالَ: لَوْ شَرِبْتُ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ مَا كَانَ لَكُمْ تَجْلِدُونِي، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: لِمَ؟ قَالَ قُدَامَةُ: قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {لَيْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا طَعِمُوا} [المائدة: ٩٣]، الْآيَةَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: أَخْطَأْتَ التَّأْوِيلَ، إِنِ اتَّقَيْتَ اللهَ اجْتَنَبْتَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ: مَاذَا تَرَوْنَ فِي جَلْدِ قُدَامَةَ، قَالُوا: لَا نَرَى أَنْ تَجْلِدَهُ مَا كَانَ مَرِيضًا، فَسَكَتَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَيَّامًا ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ يَوْمًا وَقَدْ عَزَمَ عَلَى جَلْدِهِ فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي جَلْدِ قُدَامَةَ، فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ: مَا نَرَى أَنْ تَجْلِدَهُ مَا دَامَ وَجِعًا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: لَأَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَحْتَ السِّيَاطِ أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَلْقَاهُ وَهُوَ فِي عُنُقِي، ائْتُونِي بِسَوْطٍ تَامٍّ، فَأَمَرَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِقُدَامَةَ فَجُلِدَ فَغَاضَبَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قُدَامَةَ فَهَجَرَهُ، فَحَجَّ وَحَجَّ قُدَامَةُ مَعَهُ مُغَاضِبًا لَهُ، فَلَمَّا قَفَلَا مِنْ حَجِّهِمَا وَنَزَلَ عُمَرُ بِالسُّقْيَا وَاسْتَيْقَظَ عُمَرُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ: عَجِّلُوا عَلَيَّ بِقُدَامَةَ فَأْتُونِي بِهِ، فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى أَنَّ آتِيًا أَتَانِي فَقَالَ: سَالِمْ قُدَامَةَ فَإِنِّي أَخُوكَ، فَعَجِّلُوا إِلِيَّ بِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَتَوْهُ أَبَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِنْ أَبَى أَنْ يُجَرَّ إِلَيْهِ، حَتَّى كَلَّمَهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ، وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ أَوَّلَ صُلْحِهِمَا فِي ابْتِدَاءِ هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ مَا دَلَّ عَلَى أَنَّ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ تَوَقَّفَ فِي قَبُولِ شَهَادَتِهِمَا حَيْثُ لَمْ يَجْتَمِعَا عَلَى شُرْبِهِ، وَحِينَ حَدَّهُ يُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ثَبَتَ عِنْدَهُ شُرْبُهُ بِإِقْرَارِهِ أَوْ شَهَادَةِ آخَرَ عَلَى شُرْبِهِ مَعَ الْجَارُودِ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed Sayyiduna Qudamah bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) as governor over Bahrain. He was the maternal uncle of the Mother of the Believers Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) and of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). Al-Jarud (may Allah be pleased with him), the chief of Banu Abd al-Qays, came and said: O Commander of the Believers, Umar! Qudamah has drunk wine and become dead drunk. I have come to know of one of the prescribed punishments of Allah concerning him, so I have informed you. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Is there any other witness? He said: Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). When he was asked, he said: I did not see him drinking wine, but he was vomiting in a state of intoxication. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You have given half a testimony. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) summoned Sayyiduna Qudamah (may Allah be pleased with him) from Bahrain, and he came. Al-Jarud (may Allah be pleased with him) went to him and said: Apply the Book of Allah to this man. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Are you a witness or a plaintiff? He said: I am a witness. He said: Then you have already given your testimony. The next day al-Jarud (may Allah be pleased with him) made the same demand again, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You are not acting as a witness but becoming a plaintiff. Al-Jarud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I adjure you by Allah. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Keep your tongue under control, or I will punish you. At this Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If our testimony is not accepted, then ask the daughter of al-Walid (who is Qudamah's wife). When she was asked, she too gave testimony. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Qudamah (may Allah be pleased with him): I will apply the prescribed punishment to you. Sayyiduna Qudamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You cannot apply the prescribed punishment to me. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Why? He said: Because Allah Almighty says: "There is no sin upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten." [Surah al-Ma'idah: 93] Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You are interpreting it wrongly; if you feared Allah, you would never do what is forbidden. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted the people about flogging Sayyiduna Qudamah (may Allah be pleased with him), and they advised against it. He asked again, and they again advised against it, saying that he was ill. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I would rather present myself before Allah having had the lashes given than have this prescribed punishment become a collar around my neck. Then he sent for a whip and applied the prescribed punishment to Sayyiduna Qudamah (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Qudamah (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and in that state the two of them performed Hajj. When they returned from Hajj and stopped at al-Suqya, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) woke from his sleep and said: Bring Qudamah to me. He was called, but he refused to come. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Bring him by force. So he was brought by force. He spoke with him and sought forgiveness for him, and this was their first reconciliation.
At the beginning of this story it is shown that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did not apply the prescribed punishment to him on the basis of a mere smell and a single testimony until the matter was established.

فَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ عَبْدُ الْقَاهِرِ بْنُ طَاهِرٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ الْإِمَامُ، وَأَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، وَأَبُو الْقَاسِمِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَمْدَانَ الْفَارِسِيُّ، قَالُوا: أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ نُجَيْدٍ، أنبأ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ، ثنا الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ هُوَ ابْنُ ⦗٥٤٩⦘ سِيرِينَ، أَنَّ الْجَارُودَ، لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اسْتَعْمَلْتَ عَلَيْنَا مَنْ يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ، قَالَ: وَمَنْ شُهُودُكَ؟ قَالَ: أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: خَتَنُكَ خَتَنُكَ، قَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ: وَكَانَتْ أُخْتُ الْجَارُودِ تَحْتَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: أَمَا وَاللهِ لَأُوجِعَنَّ مَتْنَهُ بِالسَّوْطِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا ذَاكَ فِي الْحَقِّ أَنْ يَشْرَبَ خَتَنُكَ وَتَجْلِدَ خَتَنِي، قَالَ: وَمَنْ؟ قَالَ: عَلْقَمَةُ، فَشَهِدُوا عِنْدَهُ فَأَمَرَ بِجِلْدِهِ، وَقَالَ: مَا حَابَيْتُ فِي إِمَارَتِي أَحَدًا مُنْذُ وُلِّيتُ غَيْرَهُ، فَمَا بُورِكَ لِي فِيهِ، اذْهَبُوا فَاجْلِدُوهُ.
Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) said that al-Jarud (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and complained that the governor drank wine. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for a witness, and he said: Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He is your in-law, your in-law! And he said: I will certainly flog him. So he said: What right is this, that your in-law drinks wine and you flog my in-law? He asked: Who else? He said: Alqamah. So when the testimony was given, he ordered that he be flogged, and said: Since I took office, I have shown favour to no one in my rule except him, and I was not blessed in him. Go and flog him.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْمَعْنِيُّ، قَالَا: ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ الدَّانَاجُ، حَدَّثَنِي حُضَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الرَّقَاشِيُّ وَهُوَ أَبُو سَاسَانَ، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَأُتِيَ بِالْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ فَشَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ حُمْرَانُ وَرَجُلٌ آخَرُ، فَشَهِدَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَنَّهُ رَآهُ شَرِبَهَا، يَعْنِي الْخَمْرَ، وَشَهِدَ الْآخَرُ أَنَّهُ رَآهُ يَتَقَيَّؤُهَا، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَقَيَّأْهَا حَتَّى شَرِبَهَا، فَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: أَقِمْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِلْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَقِمْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ، فَقَالَ: وَلِّ حَارَّهَا مَنْ تَوَلَّى قَارَّهَا، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ: أَقِمْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ السَّوْطَ فَجَلَدَهُ، وَعَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَعُدُّ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ قَالَ: حَسْبُكَ، " جَلَدَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعِينَ أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: وَجَلَدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَرْبَعِينَ، وَعُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ثَمَانِينَ، وَكُلٌّ سُنَّةٌ، وَهَذَا أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَهَذَا لَا أَعْلَمُ لَهُ تَأْوِيلًا يَصِحُّ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَبِلَ الشَّهَادَةَ عَلَيْهِ هَكَذَا، وَمَنْ يُخَالِفُهُ يَقُولُ: لَمْ تَجْتَمِعْ شَهَادَتُهُمَا عَلَى شُرْبِهِ، وَقَدْ يُكْرَهُ عَلَى الشُّرْبِ فَيَتَقَيَّأُهَا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: فِي نَظِيرِ هَذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ وَمَغِيبِ الْمَعْنَى لَا يُحَدُّ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَا يُعَاقَبُ، إِنَّمَا يُعَاقَبُ النَّاسُ عَلَى الْيَقِينِ.
Abu Sasan said: I was with Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) when al-Walid bin Uqbah was brought. Humran and another man had testified against him: one testified that he had drunk wine, and the other testified that he had seen him vomiting it. Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "One does not vomit it without drinking it. O Ali, apply the prescribed punishment to him." Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) told Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) to do it, and Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Let the one who has taken charge of its ease (the benefits of office) also take charge of its hardship." Then Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) told Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he carried out the prescribed punishment. When forty lashes were complete, Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) stopped him and said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) gave 40 lashes, and Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) gave 80. All of these are Sunnah, but this (forty) is dearer to me." Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The prescribed punishment is not to be applied until there is certainty.
وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ الدَّانَاجِ، عَنْ حُضَيْنٍ أَبِي سَاسَانَ، قَالَ: رَكِبَ نَفَرٌ مِنْهُمْ فَأَتَوْا عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِمَا صَنَعَ الْوَلِيدُ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا دُونَكَ ابْنُ عَمِّكَ فَاجْلِدْهُ: أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، أَنْبَأَ سَعِيدٌ، فَذَكَرَهُ أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَعِيدٍ.
