During the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ there was a man called ʿAbdullah whose nickname was Donkey, and he used to make Messenger of Allah ﷺ laugh. The Prophet ﷺ lashed him because of drinking (alcohol). And one-day he was brought to the Prophet ﷺ on the same charge and was lashed. On that, a man among the people said, "O Allah, curse him ! How frequently he has been brought (to the Prophet ﷺ on such a charge)!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not curse him, for by Allah, I know for he loves Allah and His Apostle."  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَانَ اسْمُهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ يُلَقَّبُ حِمَارًا وَكَانَ يُضْحِكُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَدْ جَلَدَهُ فِي الشَّرَابِ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ يَوْمًا فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَجُلِدَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُ مَا أَكْثَرَ مَا يُؤْتَى بِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ تَلْعَنُوهُ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ  

A drunk was brought to the Prophet ﷺ and he ordered him to be beaten (lashed). Some of us beat him with our hands, and some with their shoes, and some with their garments (twisted in the form of a lash). When that drunk had left, a man said, "What is wrong with him? May Allah disgrace him!" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not help Satan against your (Muslim) brother."  

أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِسَكْرَانَ فَأَمَرَ بِضَرْبِهِ فَمِنَّا مَنْ يَضْرِبُهُ بِيَدِهِ وَمِنَّا مَنْ يَضْرِبُهُ بِنَعْلِهِ وَمِنَّا مَنْ يَضْرِبُهُ بِثَوْبِهِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مَالَهُ أَخْزَاهُ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَكُونُوا عَوْنَ الشَّيْطَانِ عَلَى أَخِيكُمْ
