حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَصِينٍ، سَمِعْتُ عُمَيْرَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ النَّخَعِيَّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ لأُقِيمَ حَدًّا عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَيَمُوتَ، فَأَجِدَ فِي نَفْسِي، إِلاَّ صَاحِبَ الْخَمْرِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ مَاتَ وَدَيْتُهُ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَسُنَّهُ

I would not feel sorry for one who dies because of receiving a legal punishment, except the drunk, for if he should die (when being punished), I would give blood money to his family because no fixed punishment has been ordered by the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) for the drunk.

‘আলী ইবনু আবূ তালিব (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি কাউকে শরীয়াতের দন্ড দেয়ার সময় সে তাতে মরে গেলে আমার দুঃখ হয় না। কিন্তু মদ পানকারী ছাড়া। সে মারা গেলে আমি জরিমানা দিয়ে থাকি। কেননা রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এ শাস্তির ব্যাপারে কোন সীমা নির্ধারণ করেননি। [মুসলিম ২৯/৮, হাঃ ১৭০৭]

ہم سے عبداللہ بن عبدالوہاب نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے خالد بن الحارث نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے سفیان نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابوحصین نے، انہوں نے کہا کہ میں نے عمیر بن سعید نخعی سے سنا، کہا کہ میں نے علی بن ابی طالب رضی اللہ عنہ سے سنا، انہوں نے کہا کہ میں نہیں پسند کروں گا کہ حد میں کسی کو ایسی سزا دوں کہ وہ مر جائے اور پھر مجھے اس کا رنج ہو، سوا شرابی کے کہ اگر وہ مر جائے تو میں اس کی دیت ادا کر دوں گا کیونکہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اس کی کوئی حد مقرر نہیں کی تھی۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Abdul Wahhab] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Khalid bin Al Harits] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Hashin] aku mendengar [Umair bin Sa'id an Nakha'i] mengatakan; aku mendengar [Ali bin Abi Thalib] radliallahu 'anhu mengatakan; 'Aku tidak merasa menyesal jika menegakkan hukuman atas seseorang lantas dia meninggal, kecuali peminum khamar, sebab kalaulah dia meninggal, aku harus membayar diyatnya, yang demikian karena Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam tidak menyunnahkannya

Ali r.a. şöyle demiştir: "Herhangi bir kimseye had cezası uygulayıp da onun ölmesi ile üzüntü duymazdım. Ancak böyle bir üzüntüyü içki içen kimse hakkında duyardım. İçki içen kimse had cezasından dolayı ölseydi, muhakkak onun diyetini verirdim. Bunun sebebi şudur: Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem, içki içenin cezası hakkında bize sabit bir sayı ile vurarak had uygulamamız konusunda kesin bir hüküm bildirmemiştir

What it means

In this Hadīth, ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that he would not feel sorry for a person who dies because of receiving a prescribed corporal punishment applied against him, except the one who drinks alcohols. If such a person died when being punished, ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) would pay blood money to his family from the Muslim Treasury, since his penalty exceeded the deserved corporal punishment for drinking alcohols, which is the least prescribed punishment as to size and severity. Based on the Hadīth, no fixed punishment has been set by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) for drinking alcohols.

That being the case, it is considered a discretionary punishment and there is no liability if it led to the death of the penalized person. What was stated here by ‘Ali,(may Allah be pleased with him) is a precautionary procedure, regarding which other Companions disagreed with him.
