Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ بَكْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَمْدَانَ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ بِمَرْوٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْبَلْخِيُّ ثنا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا الْجُعَيْدُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُصَيْفَةَ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ كُنَّا نُؤْتَى بِالشُّرَّابِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِي عَهْدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ إِمْرَةِ عُمَرَ يَعْنِي فَنَضْرِبُهُمْ بِأَيْدِينَا وَنِعَالِنَا وَأَرْدِيَتِنَا حَتَّى كَانَ صَدْرًا مِنْ إِمْرَةِ عُمَرَ ؓ فَجَلَدَ أَرْبَعِينَ حَتَّى إِذَا عَتَوْا فِيهِ وَفَسَقُوا جَلَدَ ثَمَانِينَ
English Translation
Drunkards would be brought to us during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), Abu Bakr's caliphate, and the beginning of Umar's caliphate. We would beat them with our hands, sandals, and garments. In the early part of Umar's caliphate, he flogged forty. Then when people persisted in drinking and became corrupt, he flogged eighty.
