4488. 'Abdullāh bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Azhar narrated that his father said: "A drinker was brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when he was in Hunain, and he threw dust in his face, then he ordered his Companions to beat him, and they beat him with their shoes and whatever they had in their hands, until he said to them: 'Stop,' then they stopped. After the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ died, Abū Bakr gave forty lashes for drinking, then 'Umar gave forty lashes at the beginning of his Khilāfah, then he gave eighty lashes at the end of his Khilāfah. Then 'Uthmān gave both punishments, eighty and forty, then Mu'āwiyyah fixed the Hadd (punishment) at eighty." (Hasan)
