«قُمْ يَا حَسَنُ فَاجْلِدْهُ وَفِيمَ أَنْتَ وَهَذَا وَلِّ غَيْرُكَ» قَالَ بَلْ ضَعُفْتُ وَوَهَنْتُ وَعَجَزْتُ قُمْ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ فَاجْلِدْهُ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَجْلِدُهُ وَعَلِيٌّ يَعُدُّ حَتَّى بَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ فَقَالَ أَمْسِكْ جَلَدَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ وَكَمَّلَهَا عُمَرُ ثَمَانِينَ وَكُلٌّ سُنَّةٌ
✧ "Stand, O Hasan, and flog him. And what are you to this? Appoint someone else." He said, "Rather, I have become weak and feeble and incapable. Stand, O 'Abd Allah b. Ja'far, and flog him." He said: So he began to flog him while 'Ali counted until it reached forty. Then he said, "Stop. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr flogged forty lashes, and 'Umar completed it to eighty. Each is a Sunnah."

We used to strike the drunks with our hands, shoes, clothes (by twisting it into the shape of lashes) during the lifetime of the Prophet, Abu Bakr and the early part of ʿUmar's caliphate. But during the last period of ʿUmar's caliphate, he used to give the drunk forty lashes; and when drunks became mischievous and disobedient, he used to scourge them eighty lashes. (Using translation from Bukhārī 6779)

Then when Abu Bakr came, a drunkard was brought, and he sought to match the way they had struck that day, and he struck forty lashes.

✧ The drinkers were beaten during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with hands, sandals, and sticks until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away. They were more numerous during the caliphate of Abu Bakr than during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Bakr said, "If we assigned them a fixed penalty," so he sought to match what they had been beaten with during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Bakr flogged them forty lashes until he passed away. Then Umar came after him and flogged them likewise forty lashes, until a man from the first emigrants who had drunk was brought to him. He ordered that he be flogged. He said, "You will not flog me; between me and you is the Book of Allah." Umar said, "And in which Book of Allah do you find that I should not flog you?" He said to him, "Allah says in His Book: {There is no sin on those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten} [al-Ma'idah 93], the verse. I am of those who believed and did righteous deeds, then feared and believed, then feared and did good. I witnessed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ Badr, Uhud, the Trench, and the other battles." Umar said, "Will you not answer what he says?" Ibn Abbas said, "These verses were revealed as an excuse for those who passed and a proof against those who remain. The excuse for those who passed is that they met Allah before wine was forbidden to them, and a proof against those who remain; because Allah says: {O you who believe, wine, gambling, sacrificial stones, and divining arrows are only an abomination of Satan's work} [al-Ma'idah 90], the verse. Then he also recited the other verse. If he is of those who {believed and did righteous deeds, then feared and believed, then feared and did good}, then Allah has forbidden him to drink wine." Umar said, "You have spoken truly. What do you think?" Ali said, "When he drinks, he becomes intoxicated; when he becomes intoxicated, he raves; when he raves, he fabricates lies; and the liar is to be given eighty lashes." So Umar ordered, and he was flogged eighty.

✧ Because Allah says: {There is no sin on those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they have eaten, if they fear and believe and do righteous deeds} [al-Ma'idah 93], and I am of them—that is, of the first emigrants, of the people of Badr and the people of Uhud. He said to the people, "Answer the man." They were silent. He said to Ibn Abbas, "Answer him." He said, "He only revealed it as an excuse for those who drank it among those who passed before it was forbidden, and He revealed {Wine, gambling, sacrificial stones, and divining arrows are only an abomination} [al-Ma'idah 90] of Satan's work as a proof against those who remain." Then he asked those with him about the penalty for it. Ali b. Abi Talib said, "When he drinks, he raves; when he raves, he fabricates lies; so flog him eighty."
