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 رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ مَا کُنْتُ لِأُقِيمَ حَدًّا عَلَی أَحَدٍ فَيَمُوتَ فَأَجِدَ فِي نَفْسِي إِلَّا صَاحِبَ الْخَمْرِ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ مَاتَ وَدَيْتُهُ وَذَلِکَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَسُنَّهُ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 6778
Narrated `Ali bin Abi Talib: 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 Allah's Apostle for the drunk.
