قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْکِينٍ قِرَائَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ عَنْ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِکٌ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ رِيحَ شَرَابٍ فَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ شَرَابُ الطِّلَائِ وَأَنَا سَائِلٌ عَمَّا شَرِبَ فَإِنْ کَانَ مُسْکِرًا جَلَدْتُهُ فَجَلَدَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ الْحَدَّ تَامًّا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5724
It was narrated from As Sa’ib that ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab went out to them and said: “I noticed the smell of drink on so- and-so, and he said that he had drunk At-Tila’ (thickened juice of grapes). I am asking about what he drank. If it was an intoxicant I will flog him.” So ‘Umar bin Al Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, flogged him, carrying out the Hadd punishment in full. (Sahih)
