[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not strike anyone for drinking alcohol except in the end. He went on the expedition of Tabuk and his room was visited at night by Abu 'Alqamah ibn Al-A'war Al-Sulami, who was drunk. Abu 'Alqamah accidentally tore some of the curtains of the room. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Who is this?" and he was told that it was Abu 'Alqamah who was drunk. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Let someone from among you go to him and hold his hand until he is taken back to his camp." It is correct according to the words of Ibn Abbas that the Prophet did not prescribe a specific punishment for drinking alcohol, meaning that he did not mention it explicitly, but he established it in practice. This incident is mentioned, and Allah knows best, because it was not brought up for him after entering the house of Al-Abbas, as it was not firmly established upon him through his admission or the testimony of witnesses. Rather, it happened on the way, and he leaned over, so he was thought to be drunk, but the Prophet did not expose him and left him. Allah knows best.
