Mu'awiyah (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said regarding the one who drinks alcohol, 'If he drinks (for the first time) flog him, then if he drinks for the second time flog him, then if he drinks for the third time flog him then if he drinks for the fourth time you should kill him." Related by Ahmad and the wording is his. It is also transmitted by the four Imams. At-Tirmidhi mentioned what indicates that it is abrogated, but Abu Dawud reported it clearly on the authority of Az-Zuhari.
