حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ الْمِصْرِيُّ ابْنُ أَخِي رِشْدِينَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَزْهَرَ قَالَ
كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الآنَ وَهُوَ فِي الرِّحَالِ يَلْتَمِسُ رَحْلَ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ اضْرِبُوهُ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِالنِّعَالِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِالْعَصَا وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِالْمِيتَخَةِ قَالَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ الْجَرِيدَةُ الرَّطْبَةُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تُرَابًا مِنَ الأَرْضِ فَرَمَى بِهِ فِي وَجْهِهِ

I can still picture myself looking at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was among the camps of the Companions seeking the camp of Khalid ibn al-Walid, when a man who had drunk wine was brought before him. He asked the people: Beat him. Some struck him with sandals, some with sticks and some with fresh branches of the palm-tree (mitakhah). Ibn Wahb said: This (mitakhah) means green palm fronds. Then the apostle of Allah ﷺ took some dust from the ground and threw it on his face.
