"عن سيفِ بنِ عُمَر، عن الربيعِ وَأبى المجَالَدِ وأبِى عُثمانَ وَأبِى حَارِثَة قالوا: كتَبَ أَبو عُبَيْدَة إلَى عُمَر أنَّ نَفرًا من المسلمينِ أصَابُوا الشَّرابَ منهم ضِرارٌ، وأَبو جَنْدلٍ، فَسأَلْنَاهُم فَتَأوَّلوا وقَالُوا: خُيِّرْنَا فَاخْترْنَا، قَال: فهل أنتم منتهون؟ ! ولم يعزم، فكتب إليه عمر: فذلك بيننا وبينهم فهل أنتم منتهون -يعنى فانتهوا- وجَمَع النَّاسَ فاجْتَمعوا عَلَى أَن يُضْرَبُوا فيها ثَمانينَ جَلْدَةً ويُضمنوا النَّفسَ، وَمَن تَأَوَّلَ عَلَيْها بمثلِ هَذَا فإنْ أَبى قُتِلَ، وَقَالوا: مَنْ تَأوَّلَ عَلى مَا فَسَّر رسُول اللَّه ﷺ يزجر بالفعلِ والقَتْل، (فكتب عمر إلى أَبى عبيدة أن ادعهم، فإن زعموا أنها حلال فاقتلهم) فإن زعموا أنها حرام فاجلدوهم ثمانين، فبَعَثَ إليهم فَسَألَهم على رُءوسِ الأَشْهِاد، فَقَالُوا: حَرَامٌ، فَجَلَدهم ثَمانين، حُدَّ القومُ وَندموا عَلى لَجاجَتِهم، وقَالَ: لَيَحْدثَنَّ فيكم يا أَهْل الشَّامِ حادِثٌ، فحدثت الرمادة".

"From Sayf ibn 'Umar, from al-Rabi' and Abu al-Mujalid and Abu 'Uthman and Abu Harithah, who said: Abu 'Ubaydah wrote to 'Umar that a group of Muslims, among them Dirar and Abu Jandal, had drunk wine. We asked them and they interpreted it, saying: 'We were given a choice and we chose.' He said: 'Will you desist?' He did not decide firmly. So 'Umar wrote to him: 'That is between us and them. Will you desist?' meaning: so desist. He gathered the people and they agreed that they should be flogged eighty lashes for it and be made liable for the life (of the one who dies), and whoever interprets it in this way after that, if he refuses, is to be killed. They said: 'Whoever interprets it in a way other than what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ explained, deter him by action and killing.' (So 'Umar wrote to Abu 'Ubaydah: Summon them; if they claim it is lawful, kill them.) If they claim it is unlawful, flog them eighty lashes. He sent to them and questioned them in the presence of the notables, and they said: 'It is unlawful.' So he flogged them eighty lashes. The people were punished and regretted their obstinacy. He said: 'O people of al-Sham, something will befall you,' and then the year of ash (al-Ramadah) occurred."
