This tradition has been transmitted by Abu Hurairah from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . This version has: He said each time: He should give her the appropriate beating according to Allah’s Book, but not Hurl reproaches at her. He said a fourth time: If she does it again, he should give her the appropriate beating according to Allah’s Book, and then should sell her even if only for a rope of hair.

Narrated Abu Umamah bin Sahl Hunaif: Abu Umamah ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf said that some companions of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم told that one of their men suffered so much from some illness that he pined away until he was skin and bone (i. e. only a skeleton). A slave-girl of someone visited him, and he was cheered by her and had unlawful intercourse with her. When his people came to visit the patient, he told them about it. He said: Ask the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم about the legal verdict for me, for I have had unlawful intercourse with a slave-girl who visited me. So they mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم saying: We have never seen anyone (so weak) from illness as he is. If we bring him to you, his bones will disintegrate. He is only skin and bone. So the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم commanded them to take one hundred twigs and strike him once.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: A slave-girl belonging to the house of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم committed fornication. He (the Prophet) said: Rush up, Ali, and inflict the prescribed punishment on her. I then hurried up, and saw that blood was flowing from her, and did not stop. So I came to him and he said: Have you finished inflicting (punishment on her)? I said: I went to her while her blood was flowing. He said: Leave her alone till her bleeding stops; then inflict the prescribed punishment on her. And inflict the prescribed punishment on those whom your right hands possess (i. e. slaves). Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has been transmitted by Abu al-Ahwas from Abd al-A'la, and also by Shubah from Abd al-A'la. This version has: He said: Do not give her beating until she gives birth to a child. But the former (version) is sounder.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: When my vindication came down, the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم mounted the pulpit and mentioned that, and recited the Quran. Then when he came down from the pulpit he ordered regarding the two men and the woman, and they were given the prescribed punishment.

The tradition mentioned above (No. 4459) has also been transmitted by Muhammad ibn Ishaq through a different chain of narrators. But he did not mention Aishah. This version has: He (the Prophet) commanded regarding the two men and the woman who spoke obscenity were Hassan ibn Thabit and Mistah ibn Uthathah. An-Nufayl said: It is said that the woman was Hammah daughter of Jahsh.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم did not prescribe any punishment for drinking wine. Ibn Abbas said: A man who had drunk wine and become intoxicated was found staggering on the road, so he was taken to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . When he was opposite al-Abbas's house, he escaped, and going in to al-Abbas, he grasped hold of him. When that was mentioned to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , he laughed and said: Did he do that? and he gave no command regarding him. Abu Dawud said: This tradition of al-Hasan bin Ali has been transmitted only by the people of Madina.

Abu Hurairah said: When a man who had drunk wine was brought to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , he said: Beat him. Abu Hurairah said: Some struck him with their hands, some with their garment. When he turned his face, some people said: Allah put you shame! The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Do not say like that and help the devil to get power over him.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn al- Had through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. He said after the word“beating”: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then said to his Companions: Reproach him, and they faced him and said: You have not respected Allah, you have not feared Allah and you have not shown shame before the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . Then they released him. Some have also added similar words.

Anas bin Malik said: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم gave a beating with palm-branches and sandals for drinking wine and Abu Bakr gave lashes. When Umar came to power, he called upon people and said to them: The people are living now near watering placing, and, according to Musaddad’s version,“near villages and watering places, so what do you say about the punishment for (drinking) wine? Abdur-Rahman bin Awf said: We think that you should prescribe the lightest punishment. So he fixed eight lashes for it. Abu Dawud said: It has also been transmitted by Ibn Al 'Arubah from Qatadah from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to the effect that he gave a beating forty times with palm branches and sandals. And Shubah narrated it from Qatadah on the authority of Anas from Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . This version has: He gave a beating with two palm-branches about forty times.

Hudayn ibn al-Mundhir ar-Ruqashi, who was Abu Sasan, said: I was present with Uthman ibn Affan when al-Walid ibn Uqbah was brought to him. HUmran and another man bore witness against him (for drinking wine). One of them testified that he had seen him drinking wine, and the other testified that he had seen him vomiting it. Uthman said: He could not vomit it, unless he did not drink it. He said to Ali: Inflict the prescribed punishment on him. Ali said to al-Hasan: Inflict the prescribed punishment on him. Al-Hasan said: He who has enjoyed its pleasure should also bear its burden. So Ali said to Abdullah ibn Jafar: Inflict the prescribed punishment on him. He took a whip and struck him with it while Ali was counting. When he reached (struck) forty (lashes), he said: It is sufficient. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم gave forty lashes. I think he also said: "And Abu Bakr gave forty lashes, and Uthman eighty. This is all sunnah (standard practice). And this is dearer to me. "
