Narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him): In the blessed era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and in the early period of the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), we used to bring the drunkard and, standing close to him, would beat him with hands, shoes, and clothes. Then, at the beginning of the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), the prescribed punishment for the drunkard was set at forty lashes. But when the drunkards became rebellious and adopted wickedness, the punishment for the drunkard was made eighty lashes.
