Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): A drunkard was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so he (the Prophet) said: "Beat him." Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Some of us beat him with their hands, some with their shoes, and some with their clothes. When they had finished beating him, someone said to him, "May Allah disgrace you." When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) heard these words, he said: "Do not say this, and do not help Satan against him by saying such words."

It is narrated from Amir al-Mu'minin Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), he used to say: "If I (that is, Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him) establish a prescribed punishment (hadd) on someone and he dies, then I will not feel any distress over it, except in the case of a drunkard; if he dies, then I will pay his blood money, because no specific prescribed punishment has been issued regarding him from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)."

Narrated from Amir al-Mu’minin Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) there was a man named Abdullah, and people used to call him Himar, Himar. This man used to make the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) laugh, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had punished him for drinking alcohol. Then one day he was brought before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) (because he had drunk alcohol), and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered that he be punished again. One of those present said,“O Allah! Curse him, how often he is brought before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for drinking alcohol.”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“Do not curse him. By Allah, I know that he loves Allah and His Messenger.”

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "May Allah curse the thief; (wretched one) if he steals an egg, his hand is cut off, and if he steals a rope, his hand is also cut off."

Narrated from Umm al-Mu'minin Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The hand of a thief should be cut off for stealing a quarter of a dinar or more."

Narrated from Ummul Momineen Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that in the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the hand of a thief was not cut off for stealing less than the price of a shield or armor (and each of these items is of value).

Narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had the hand cut off for stealing a shield whose price was three dirhams.
