[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."
قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا بِحِمْصَ فَقَالُوا لِي اقْرَأْ فَقَرَأْتُ سُورَةَ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَاللهِ مَا هَكَذَا أَنْزَلَهَا اللهُ ﷻ فَقَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَيْحَكَ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ وَأَنْتَ تَقُولُ لِي مَا تَقُولُ قَالَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أُكَلِّمُهُ إِذْ وَجَدْتُ مِنْهُ رِيحَ الْخَمْرِ فَقُلْتُ تُكَذِّبُ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ وَتَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ أَمَا وَاللهِ لَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ حَتَّى أَجْلِدَكَ الْحَدَّ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَعْمَشِ وَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ لَمْ يَجْلِدْهُ حَتَّى ثَبَتَ عِنْدَهُ شُرْبُهُ مَا يُسْكِرُ بِبَيِّنَةٍ أَوِ اعْتِرَافٍ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
