1443. Anas narrated that a man who had drunk wine was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, so he beat him about forty times with two stalks of a palm tree. So Abū Bakr did similarly, and by the time 'Umar became Khalifah he sought council from the people. And 'Abdur-Rahmān bin 'Awf said: 'I see that the lightest penalty is eighty lashes,' so 'Umar ordered that. (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Ḥadīth of Anas is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. The punishment for intoxication is eighty (lashes).
