Huzain (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Walid bin Uqbah led the people in the Fajr prayer and performed four rak'ahs instead of two. Then he turned to the people and said, "Perhaps I have increased the number of rak'ahs in the prayer?" This matter was presented before Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him), so he ordered the punishment for drinking wine to be carried out on Walid. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), "Hasan! Stand up and flog him." He said, "You cannot do this; order someone else to do it." He replied, "In reality, you have become weak and incapable, so Abdullah bin Ja'far! You stand up and carry out the punishment on him." Thus, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) kept flogging him and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) kept counting. When forty lashes were completed, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Stop. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave forty lashes to the one who drank wine, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) also gave forty lashes, but Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave eighty lashes, and both are Sunnah."
