[Machine] If you wake up tomorrow, strike him with the limit. Umar came and he struck him severely. He said, "You killed the man, how many times did you strike him?" He said, "Sixty." He said, "Reduce it by twenty." Abu Ubaid said, "Reduce it by twenty." He says, "Make the severity of this strike be reduced by twenty, which remains in this conversation of jurisprudence that striking a drunkard is a light strike, and that he did not strike him while he was drunk until he woke up. Didn't you hear his saying when you wake up tomorrow, strike him with the limit?" The Sheikh said, may Allah have mercy on him, "And in it is that exceeding forty is punishment and not a limit."
