[4457] 38 - (1707) Huḏayn bin Al-Mundhir Abū Sasān said: “I saw when Al-Walīd was brought to ‘Uthmān bin ‘Affān after he had led two Rak’ah of Fajr prayer and then said: ‘Shall I lead you in further prayers?’ Two men bore witness against him. One of them was Humrān, who said that he had drunk wine, and the other testified that he had seen him vomiting. ‘Uthmān said: ‘He would not have vomited unless he drank it.’ He said: ‘O ‘Alī, get up and whip him.’ ‘Alī said: ‘O Ḥasan, get up and whip him. Al-Ḥasan said: ‘Let those who are enjoying the position of leadership carry out the punishment.’ It was as if he (‘Alī) got upset with him and he said: ‘Get up, O ‘Abdullāh bin Ja'far! Get up and whip him.' So he whipped him, and 'Alî counted until he had reached forty, then he said: 'Stop.' Then he said: 'The Prophet ﷺ gave forty lashes, and Abû Bakr gave forty, and 'Umar gave eighty. All are Sunnah but this is dearer to me.'"

38 - (1707) وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ الدَّانَاجِ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ فَيْرُوزَ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَامِرٍ الدَّانَاجِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُضَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ أَبُو سَاسَانَ، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ وَأُتِيَ بِالْوَلِيدِ قَدْ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَزِيدُكُمْ، فَشَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا حُمْرَانُ أَنَّهُ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ، وَشَهِدَ آخَرُ أَنَّهُ رَآهُ يَتَقَيَّأُ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَقَيَّأْ حَتَّى شَرِبَهَا، فَقَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ، قُمْ فَاجْلِدْهُ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: قُمْ يَا حَسَنُ فَاجْلِدْهُ، فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ: وَلِّ حَارَّهَا مَنْ تَوَلَّى قَارَّهَا، فَكَأَنَّهُ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ قُمْ فَاجْلِدْهُ، فَجَلَدَهُ وَعَلِيٌّ يَعُدُّ حَتَّى بَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ، فَقَالَ: أَمْسِكْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «جَلَدَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعِينَ»، وَجَلَدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ، وَعُمَرُ ثَمَانِينَ، " وَكُلٌّ سُنَّةٌ، وَهَذَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ. زَادَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ، قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ: وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ حَدِيثَ الدَّانَاجِ مِنْهُ فَلَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ
