English translation
5001. Narrated 'Alqama: While we were in city of Ḥimṣ (in Syria), Ibn Mas'ūd recited Sūrat Yūsuf. A man said (to him), "It was not revealed in this way." Then Ibn Mas'ūd said, "I recited it in this way before Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and he confirmed my recitation by saying, 'Well done!' " Ibn Mas'ūd detected the smell of wine from the man's mouth, so he said to him, "Aren't you ashamed of telling a lie about Allāh's Book and (along with this) you drink alcoholic liquors too?" Then he lashed him according to the Islāmic law.
