2568 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِذَا قَالَ: الرَّجُلُ لِلرَّجُلِ: يَا مُخَنَّثُ فَاجْلِدُوهُ عِشْرِينَ، وَإِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِلرَّجُلِ: يَا لُوطِيُّ فَاجْلِدُوهُ عِشْرِينَ "

Commentary
a. It is mentioned in Hadith no. 2571, with reference of 'Ali bin Abu Tâlib, that the Prophet ﷺ gave the punishment of forty lashes. 'Ali did not consider it a fixed punishment. 'Umar increased this punishment and made it eighty lashes with the consultation of other Companions. 'Abdur Rahmân bin 'Awf suggested this increase and others did not differ in this matter. (Sahih Muslim, 1706)
