"From Ibn 'Umar, who said: 'Abd al-Rahman drank, and with him drank Abu Sarw'ah 'Uqbah ibn al-Harith, while they were in Egypt during the caliphate of 'Umar, and they became intoxicated. When they awoke in the morning, they went to 'Amr ibn al-'As, who was the governor of Egypt, and said: Purify us, for we became intoxicated from a drink we consumed. 'Abd Allah said: My brother told me that he had become intoxicated, so I said: Enter the house and I will purify you, and I did not realize that they had come to 'Amr. My brother informed me that he had informed the governor of that. I said: Today no one will be shaved before the people. Enter the house and I will shave you. They used to shave along with the prescribed punishments at that time. He entered the house. 'Abd Allah said: I shaved my brother with my own hand, and then 'Amr lashed them. 'Umar heard of this, and he wrote to 'Amr: Send 'Abd al-Rahman to me on a saddle. He did so, and when he came to 'Umar, he lashed him and punished him in a place of his own, then released him. He remained healthy for a month, then his appointed time came and he died. Most people assume he died from 'Umar's lashing, but he did not die from the lashing of 'Umar."
