It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and a group of the Companions that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever drinks wine, flog him; then if he drinks again, flog him; then if he drinks a third time, flog him; then if he drinks a fourth time, kill him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever drinks wine, flog him; then if he drinks again, flog him; then if he drinks a third time, flog him; and if he drinks a fourth time, kill him." The narrator said: Then (what actually happened was that) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had al-Nu'ayman flogged four times (but did not have him killed).
