Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فَجَلَدَهُ بِجَرِيدَتَيْنِ نَحْوَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ قَالَ وَفَعَلَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ اسْتَشَارَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ أَخَفُّ الْحُدُودِ ثَمَانُونَ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ عُمَرُ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Shu'bah told us: Hajjaj told us, who said: I heard Qatadah narrating from Anas ibn Malik, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was brought a man who had drunk wine, and he struck him with two palm-branches, about forty times. He said: Abu Bakr also did this. Then when it was 'Umar's time, he consulted the people, and 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf said, "The lightest of the prescribed punishments is eighty." So 'Umar ordered that.
