Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَاضِي ثنا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ ثنا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْإِفْكِ جُلِدُوا الْحَدَّ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ فَشَا
English Translation
Discussion of the hadd for drinking alcohol (khamr) and its implementation. The Prophet (peace be upon him) punished drunkards with approximately forty strikes using palm fronds and sandals. Umar later increased this to eighty lashes after consulting the Companions, based on Ali's reasoning that intoxication leads to rambling speech which amounts to false accusation.
