4892. Abū Al-Haitham narrated that he heard Dukhain, the scribe of 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir, say: "We had some neighbors who drank wine, and I told them not to do that, but they did not stop. I said to 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir: "These neighbors of ours drink wine, and I told them not to do that but they did not stop. I am going to call the police on them." He said: "Let them be." I came back to 'Uqbah a second time, and said: "Our neighbors refuse to stop drinking wine, and I am going to call the police on them." He said: "Woe to you, let them be, for I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say..." and he mentioned a Hadith like that of Muslim.[1] (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: Hāshim bin Al-Qāsim narrated that Laith said in this Hadith: "Do not do that, rather exhort them, and warn them."
