abudawud:4485Aḥmad b. ʿAbdah al-Ḍabbī > Sufyān > al-Zuhrī > Qabīṣah b. Dhuʾayb

The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone drinks wine, flog him; if he repeats it, flog him, and if he repeats it, flog him. If he does it again a third or a fourth time, kill him. A man who had drunk wine was brought (to him) and he gave him lashes. He was again brought to him, and he flogged him. He was again brought to him and he flogged him. He was again brought to him and he flogged him. The punishment of killing (for drinking) was repealed, and a concession was allowed. Sufyan said: Al-Zuhri transmitted this tradition when Mansur b. al-Mu'tamir amd Mukhawwal b. Rashid were present with him. He said to them: Take this tradition as a present to the people of Iraq. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by al-Sharid b. Suwaid, Sharahbil b. Aws, 'Abd Allah b. 'Amr, 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar, Abu Ghutaif al-Kindi, and Abu Salamah b. 'Abd al-Rahman from Abu Hurairah.  

أبو داود:٤٤٨٥حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ فَإِنْ عَادَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ فَإِنْ عَادَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ فَإِنْ عَادَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ فَاقْتُلُوهُ فَأُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ شَرِبَ فَجَلَدَهُ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِهِ فَجَلَدَهُ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِهِ فَجَلَدَهُ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِهِ فَجَلَدَهُ وَرَفَعَ الْقَتْلَ فَكَانَتْ رُخْصَةً قَالَ سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَ الزُّهْرِيُّ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَعِنْدَهُ مَنْصُورُ بْنُ الْمُعْتَمِرِ وَمُخَوَّلُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا كُونَا وَافِدَىْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ الشَّرِيدُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ وَشُرَحْبِيلُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَأَبُو غُطَيْفٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Whoever drinks alcohol, whip him. Then if he drinks again, whip him. Then if he drinks again, whip him. Then if he drinks for the fourth time, kill him. Bring me a man who has drunk alcohol." He was whipped, then he was whipped again, then he was whipped again, then he was whipped for the fourth time. The killing was lifted from the people, and it was permissible. It is confirmed by 17506. Abu Zakariya ibn Abu Ishaq informed us, Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, Rabee ibn Sulayman informed me, Al-Shafi'i narrated to me, Sufyan narrated from Al-Zuhri, from Qabisah ibn Dhu'ayb, who mentioned this narration, except that he said, "Then if he drinks, kill him." Al-Zuhri did not know whether it was after the third time or the fourth time. He said at the end, "The killing was suspended and it became permissible." Sufyan said, "Al-Zuhri said this to Mansur ibn al-Mu'tamir and Mikhwal, who were two visitors from Iraq with this narration."
