Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الْجُعَيْدِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُصَيْفَةَ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُؤْتَى بِالشَّارِبِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَإِمْرَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلاَفَةِ عُمَرَ، فَنَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ بِأَيْدِينَا وَنِعَالِنَا وَأَرْدِيَتِنَا، حَتَّى كَانَ آخِرُ إِمْرَةِ عُمَرَ، فَجَلَدَ أَرْبَعِينَ، حَتَّى إِذَا عَتَوْا وَفَسَقُوا جَلَدَ ثَمَانِينَ‏.‏

Translation

Makki ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, from al-Juayd, from Yazid ibn Khusayfah, from al-Saib ibn Yazid, who said: During the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr’s rule, and the early part of Umar’s caliphate, a drinker would be brought to us, and we would strike him with our hands, sandals, and cloaks. Toward the end of Umar’s rule, he prescribed forty lashes; when people became insolent and wicked, he prescribed eighty.
