أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ خَالِهِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا سَکِرَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ ثُمَّ إِنْ سَکِرَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ ثُمَّ إِنْ سَکِرَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ فَاضْرِبُوا عُنُقَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5678
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “If he becomes drunk, whip him; then if he becomes drunk, whip him; then if he becomes drunk, whip him.” Then he said concerning the fourth time, “Strike his neck (i.e., kill him).” (Sahih)
