Hudud

Muslim transmitted on the authority of 'Ali (RAA) concerning the story of al-Walid bin 'Uqbah that the Messenger of Allah inflicted forty lashes, Abu Bakr (RAA) forty lashes and 'Umar (RAA) eighty. All of them are in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ) but this one (the eighty lashes) is preferable to me.

'He would not have vomited it, unless that he had drunk it.'

Mu'awiyah (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said regarding the one who drinks alcohol, 'If he drinks (for the first time) flog him, then if he drinks for the second time flog him, then if he drinks for the third time flog him then if he drinks for the fourth time you should kill him." Related by Ahmad and the wording is his. It is also transmitted by the four Imams.

At-Tirmidhi mentioned what indicates that it is abrogated, but Abu Dawud reported it clearly on the authority of Az-Zuhari.

"When one of you is flogging (while inflicting a prescribed punishment) he should avoid the face." Agreed upon.

"Prescribed punishments are not to be inflicted in mosques." Related by At-Tirmidhi and Al-Hakim.

Anas (RAA) narrated, 'Allah sent down the verses stating the prohibition of alcohol when there was no other beverage to drink in Madinah except that prepared from dates (wine of dates).' Related by Muslim.

'Umar (RAA) narrated, 'When the prohibition of Khamr (alcoholic drinks) was revealed, it used to be made from grapes, dates, honey, wheat and barley. Khamr is what shields one's mind' Agreed upon.

"Every intoxicant is Khamr, and every intoxicant is prohibited." Related by Muslim.

"If a large quantity of any beverage intoxicates, then a small amount of it is prohibited." Related by Ahmad and the four Imams. Ibn Hibban graded it as Sahih.

Ibn 'Abbas (RAA) narrated, 'Raisins used to be soaked for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in a water skin, and he would drink it that day, the next day and the following day. When it was the evening of the third day, he would drink it and give some to others. If anything was left from it, he would spill it.' Related by Muslim.

"Allah did not make your cure in what He made Haram (unlawful) to you." Related by Al-Baihaqi and graded as Sahih by Ibn Hibban.

Wa'il Al-Hadrami narrated that Tariq bin Suwaid asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about Khamr which he made only to be used as a medicine. The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "It is not a medicine, it is a disease." Related by Muslim and Abu Dawud.

Abu Burdah Al-Ansari (RAA) narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, "No more than ten lashes are to be given except when inflicting one of the Hudud (prescribed punishments) of Allah." Agreed upon.

"Forgive the people with high moral values when they slip but not what calls for the infliction of Hudud." Related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i and Al-Baihaqi.

'Ali (RAA) narrated, 'I would not blame myself for the death of a man when I inflicted prescribed punishment on him, with the exception of one who drunk Khamr, for if he were to die, I would pay Diyah for him.'

"Whoever is killed while protecting his property, he is a martyr." Related by the four Imams and At-Tirmidhi graded it as Sahih.
