Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them) says that I was in Homs when people asked me to recite the Qur'an to them. I recited Surah Yusuf. A person said, "By Allah! It was not revealed like this." I said, "Woe to you! By Allah! I recited this Surah before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said, 'You have recited well.'" In short, while I was talking to him, I smelled alcohol from him. I said, "You drink alcohol and deny the Book of Allah? You will not leave until I administer the prescribed punishment to you." Then I flogged him (with the prescribed lashes for drinking alcohol).
