Narrated Abdulrahman Ibn Azhar: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the morning of the conquest of Mecca when I was a young boy. He was walking among the people; seeking the camp of Khalid Ibn AlWalid. A man who had drunk wine was brought before him and he ordered them to beat him. So they beat him with what they had in their hands. Some struck him with whips; some with sticks and some with sandals. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ threw some dust on his face. When a man who had drunk wine was brought before Abu Bakr; he asked them i.e. the people about the number of beatings which they gave him. They numbered it forty. So Abu Bakr gave him forty lashes. When Umar came to power; Khalid Ibn AlWalid wrote to him: The people have become addicted to drinking wine and they look down upon the prescribed punishment and its penalty. He said: They are with you; ask them. The immigrants who embraced Islam in the beginning were with him. He asked them and they agreed on the fact that a drunkard should be given eighty lashes. Ali said: When a man drinks wine; he tells lies. I; therefore; think that he should be prescribed punishment that is prescribed for telling lies..Abu Dawud said: Uqail Bin Khalid included in the chain of this tradition: Abdullah Bin Abdulrahman Bin AlAzhar from his father between AlZuhri and Ibn AlAzhar.
