2571. Hudain bin Mundhir said: “When Walid bin 'Uqbah was brought to 'Uthmân, they had testified against him. He said to 'Ali: 'You are close to your uncle's son, so carry out the legal punishment on him.' So 'Ali whipped him. He said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ gave forty lashes, and Abu Bakr gave forty lashes, and 'Umar gave eighty, and all are Sunnah.''' (Sahih)

2571 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الدَّانَاجِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حُضَيْنَ بْنَ الْمُنْذِرِ الرَّقَاشِيَّ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ فَيْرُوزَ الدَّانَاجُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي حُضَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ: لَمَّا جِيءَ بِالْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ قَدْ شَهِدُوا عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ: دُونَكَ ابْنَ عَمِّكَ، فَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ، فَجَلَدَهُ عَلِيٌّ وَقَالَ: «جَلَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعِينَ، وَجَلَدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ، وَجَلَدَ عُمَرُ ثَمَانِينَ، وَكُلٌّ سُنَّةٌ»

  1. 1

    [1] The meaning of the narration is that they would not pay the blood money if someone died as a result of being administered the prescribed punishment, except in the case of the drinker who was to receive a number of lashes. If he died as a result of that punishment, then we would pay the blood money to his relatives, because his punishment was not prescribed by the Prophet ﷺ.

Commentary

Acting in accordance with the Rightly-Guided Caliphs is Sunnah. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Follow me and the Sunnah of my the Rightly-Guided caliphs.' This can be quoted as proof. (Jāmi' Tirmidhi 2676)
