It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not prescribe a fixed punishment for drinking alcohol. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that a man drank alcohol and was so intoxicated that he was staggering in a street. He was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When he reached near the house of Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he slipped from their hands and entered the house of Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and clung to him from behind. When people mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he laughed and said: Did he really do that? Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give any order regarding him.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) recited Surah Yusuf in Homs. A man said:“It was not revealed in this way.”When Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) approached him, he smelled alcohol from him. Then he said to him:“Do you deny the truth and drink this filthy thing? I will not leave you without enforcing the prescribed punishment.”Then he enforced the punishment on him and said:“By Allah! The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me this Surah in exactly this way.”

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Burdah bin Niyar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No one should be beaten with more than ten lashes, except in the case of one of the limits set by Allah the Exalted.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Haydah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had some people from our tribe arrested and imprisoned on the charge of accusation. Then a man from our tribe came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was delivering a sermon. He said: O Muhammad! Why have you imprisoned my neighbors? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent with him. He said again: People say that you forbid evil, while you are spreading evil. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What is he saying? Sayyiduna Muawiyah says: I did not let the matter between the two become clear, fearing that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) might hear his words and curse my tribe, and then my tribe would never prosper. But the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept engaging with him until he understood him. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Did these people really say this accusatory thing? By Allah! If I do the act from which I have forbidden, then its burden will be upon me, not upon them. You release his neighbors.
