Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-3418b
"عَنْ يعقوب بن عُتْبَةَ قال: بعثَ أبو عُبَيْدَة بنُ الجراح وَبَرةَ بن رومان الكلبى إلى عمر بن الخطاب أن الناس قد تتابعوا في شرب الخمر بالشام وقد ضربتُ أربعينَ، ولا أراها تُغْنِى عنهم شيئًا، فاستشارَ عمرُ النَّاسَ، فقالَ عَلِى: أرى أن تَجْعَلَهَا بمنزلة حدِّ الفِرْيَةِ، إن الرجلَ إذا شرب هَذَى وإذا هَذَى افترى، فَجَلَدَهَا عمرُ بالمدينة، وكتب إلى أبى عبيدة فجلدها بالشام ".

"It is narrated from Ya'qub ibn 'Utbah that he said: Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah and Barrah ibn Rumman al-Kalbi sent to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab that the people had persisted in drinking wine in al-Sham, and that I had struck forty lashes, and I do not think it benefits them anything. So 'Umar consulted the people. 'Ali said: 'I think you should make it equal to the punishment for slander, for when a man drinks he talks nonsense, and when he talks nonsense he slanders.' So 'Umar flogged for it in Madinah, and he wrote to Abu 'Ubaydah, and he flogged for it in al-Sham."
