حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فَجَلَدَهُ بِجَرِيدَتَيْنِ نَحْوَ أَرْبَعِينَ. قَالَ وَفَعَلَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ اسْتَشَارَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخَفَّ الْحُدُودِ ثَمَانِينَ. فَأَمَرَ بِهِ عُمَرُ

A person who had drink wine was brought to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). He gave him forty stripes with two lashes. Abu Bakr also did that, but when Umar (assumed the responsibilities) of the Caliphate, he consulted people and Abd al-Rahman said: The mildest punishment (for drinking) is eighty (stripes) and Umar their prescribed this punishment.

আবূ বকর ইবনু আবূ শায়বাহ ও ইসহাক ইবনু ইবরাহীম (রহঃ) ..... আয়িশাহ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম নফল সালাতে বসে কিরাআত পড়তেন। অতঃপর রুকূ’ করতে মনস্থ করলে উঠে এতটুকু সময় পর্যন্ত দাঁড়ালেন, যে সময়ের মধ্যে একজন লোক চল্লিশ আয়াত পর্যন্ত পড়তে পারে। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৫৭৬, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

عمرہ نے حضرت عائشہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا سے روایت کی ، انھوں نے کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم بیٹھے ہوئے قراءت فرماتے ، پس جب رکوع کرناچاہتے تو اتنی دیر کے لئے کھڑے ہوجاتے جتنی دیر میں ایک انسان چالیس آیتیں پڑھ لیتا ہے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakar bin Abu Syaibah] dan [Ishaq bin Ibrahim]. [Abu Bakar] mengatakan; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ismail bin 'Ulayyah] dari [Al Walid bin Abu Hisyam] dari [Abu Bakar bin Muhammad] dari ['Amrah] dari ['Aisyah] katanya; "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam membaca (dalam shalat) dengan duduk, jika beliau hendak ruku', beliau berdiri seukuran seseorang membaca empat puluh ayat

Bize, Ebû Bekir b. Ebî Şeybe ile îshâk b. İbrahim rivayet ettiler. Ebû Bekir dedi ki: Bize, İsmail b. Uleyye, Velîd b. Ebî Hişâm'dan, o da Ebû Bekir b, Muhammed'den, o da Amra'dan, o da Âişe'den naklen rivayet etti. Âişe şöyle demiş: «Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) (bazan namazda) oturduğu yerden okur; rükû' etmek istedimi kalkarak bir insanın kırk âyet okuyabileceği kadar ayakta dururdu.»

What it means

A man had drunk alcohol during the time of Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), who hit him with a palm stalk with about forty lashes as a legal punishment for drinking alcohol. In his reign, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) applied the same number of lashes to a drunkard. When ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became a Caliph and the Muslims conquered several countries and mingled with others, drinking alcohol became widespread.

So, ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), as usual, consulted the scholars of the Companions on what punishment to apply on the drunkards to deter them from committing that sin. It was ‘Umar's habit to seek counsel on matters of importance that required personal legal reasoning. As the number of drunkards increased during the reign of ‘Umar, ‘Abdur-Rahmān ibn ‘Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) advised ‘Umar to increase the punishment of drunkards to eighty lashes so that it would become similar to the next lightest prescribed punishment, which is applicable to slanderers.

So, ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) increased the punishment of drunkards to eighty lashes, forty as a prescribed legal punishment, and forty as an additional discretionary punishment left to the discretion of the ruler (or judge), when necessary.
