قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَخْضَرِ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ:
« لَمْ يَفْرِضْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْخَمْرِ حَدًّا، حَتَّى فَرَضَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ أَرْبَعِينَ ». قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: قَالَ السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ: « ثُمَّ فَرَضَ عُمَرُ ؓ ثَمَانِينَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ ؓ جَلَدَ ثَمَانِينَ وَأَرْبَعِينَ ; كَانَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِالرَّجُلِ الَّذِي قَدْ تَضَلَّعَ مِنَ الشَّرَابِ جَلَدَهُ ثَمَانِينَ، وَإِذَا أُتِيَ بِالرَّجُلِ قَدْ زَلَّ زَلَّةً جَلَدَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ

✧ “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not prescribe a fixed punishment for wine until Abu Bakr ؓ prescribed forty lashes.” Ibn Shihab said: Al-Sa'ib b. Yazid said: “Then Umar ؓ prescribed eighty. Then Uthman ؓ lashed both eighty and forty: when a man was brought to him full of drink, he lashed him eighty, and when a man was brought to him who had slipped a slip, he lashed him forty.”
