4480. Huḏain bin Al-Munḏhir Al-Raqāshī, who is Abū Sāsān said: “I was present with ‘Uthmān bin ‘Affān when Al-Walīd bin ‘Uqbah was brought, and Humrān and another man bore witness against him. One of them bore witness that he saw him drinking it, meaning, Khamr, and the other bore witness that he saw him vomiting it. 'Uthmān said: 'He could not have vomited it unless he drank it.' He said to 'Alī: 'Carry out the Hadd (punishment) on him.' 'Alī said to Al-Hasan: 'Carry out the Hadd (punishment) on him.' Al-Hasan said: 'Let the one who is enjoying the position (of authority) also bear its burdens.' Then 'Alī said to Abdullāh bin Ja'far: 'Carry out the Hadd (punishment) on him.' He took the whip and flogged him while 'Alī counted, and when he reached forty he said: 'That's enough. The Prophet ﷺ gave forty lashes' – I think he said: 'And Abū Bakr gave forty lashes – and 'Umar gave eighty. Both are Sunnah, but this is dearer to me.' (Ṣaḥīh)

4480 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الدَّانَاجُ، حَدَّثَنِي حُضَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الرَّقَاشِيُّ هُوَ أَبُو سَاسَانَ، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ وَأُتِيَ بِالْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، فَشَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ حُمْرَانُ وَرَجُلٌ آخَرُ، فَشَهِدَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَنَّهُ رَآهُ شَرِبَهَا - يَعْنِي الْخَمْرَ - وَشَهِدَ الْآخَرُ أَنَّهُ رَآهُ يَتَقَيَّأُ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَقَيَّأْ حَتَّى شَرِبَهَا، فَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : أَقِمْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِلْحَسَنِ: أَقِمْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ، فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ: وَلِّ حَارَّهَا، مَنْ تَوَلَّى قَارَّهَا، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ: أَقِمْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ السَّوْطَ فَجَلَدَهُ وَعَلِيٌّ يَعُدُّ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ، قَالَ: «حَسْبُكَ، جَلَدَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعِينَ»، أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: وَجَلَدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ، وَعُمَرُ ثَمَانِينَ، وَكُلٌّ سُنَّةٌ وَهَذَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ
