Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.

[Machine] Abdullah said, "I was sitting in Hims and they told me to read, so I recited Surah Yusuf. A man from the people said, 'By Allah, this is not how Allah revealed it.' So I said, 'Woe to you, I have recited it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' He said, 'Well done, and you are saying to me what you are saying.' Then, while I was talking to him, I smelled the odor of alcohol from him. So I said, 'You deny the Book of Allah and drink alcohol? By Allah, you will not return to your family until you receive the punishment.' It was mentioned in the authentic narration of Al-A'mash. It is also possible that Abdullah bin Mas'ood did not whip him until it was proven to him that he had consumed enough to become intoxicated, either through clear evidence or confession. And Allah knows best."

muslim:801aʿUthmān b. Abū Shaybah > Jarīr > al-Aʿmash > Ibrāhīm > ʿAlqamah > ʿAbdullāh

I was in Hims when some of the people asked me to recite the Qur'an to them. So I recited Surah Yusuf to them. One of the persons among the people said: By Allah, this is not how it has been sent down. I said: Woe upon you! By Allah, I recited it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to me: You have (recited) it well. I was talking with him (the man who objected to my recitation) that I sensed the smell of wine from him. So I said to him. Do you drink wine and belie the Book (of Allah)? You would not depart till I would whip you. So I lashed him according to the prescribed punishment (for the offence of drinking wine).  

مسلم:٨٠١aحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ بِحِمْصَ فَقَالَ

لِي بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ اقْرَأْ عَلَيْنَا فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةَ يُوسُفَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَاللَّهِ مَا هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَيْحَكَ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي أَحْسَنْتَ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا أُكَلِّمُهُ إِذْ وَجَدْتُ مِنْهُ رِيحَ الْخَمْرِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أَتَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ وَتُكَذِّبُ بِالْكِتَابِ لاَ تَبْرَحُ حَتَّى أَجْلِدَكَ قَالَ فَجَلَدْتُهُ الْحَدَّ  

ahmad:4033Ibn Numayr And Yaʿlá > al-Aʿmash > Ibrāhīm > ʿAlqamah > Atá ʿAbdullāh al-Shām

[Machine] There were people from the people of Homs. He said, "Read to us." So he recited Surah Yusuf to them. Then a man from the people stood up and said, "By Allah, it was not revealed like this." Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Woe to you, I have recited it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in this way." He said, "You have done well." While he was reviewing it, he found the smell of alcohol coming from him. So he said, "Do you drink the impure and deny the Quran? By Allah, I will not leave you alone until I flog you." And he flogged him with the prescribed punishment.
