English translation

[4454] 36 - (...) It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that the Prophet of Allâh ﷺ whipped people for drinking wine with palm branches and shoes, then Abû Bakr ordered that forty lashes be given, but when 'Umar was caliph, the people drew near to countryside and cities. He said: "What do you think about whipping for drinking wine?" 'Abdur-Rahmân bin 'Awf said: "I think you should make it like the lightest of the Hadd punishments” so ‘Umar ordered that eighty lashes be given.

Arabic text

36 - (1706) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، «أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَلَدَ فِي الْخَمْرِ بِالْجَرِيدِ، وَالنِّعَالِ»، ثُمَّ جَلَدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ، وَدَنَا النَّاسُ مِنَ الرِّيفِ وَالْقُرَى، قَالَ: «مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي جَلْدِ الْخَمْرِ؟» فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ: أَرَى أَنْ تَجْعَلَهَا كَأَخَفِّ الْحُدُودِ، قَالَ: «فَجَلَدَ عُمَرُ ثَمَانِينَ»،
