ʿAli bin Abi Talib said: "I got a she-camel as my share of the war booty on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me another she-camel. I let both of them kneel at the door of one of the Ansar, intending to carry Idhkhir on them to sell it and use its price for my wedding banquet on marrying Fatima. A goldsmith from Bani Qainqa' was with me. Hamza bin ʿAbdul-Muttalib was in that house drinking wine and a lady singer was reciting: "O Hamza! (Kill) the (two) fat old she camels (and serve them to your guests). So Hamza took his sword and went towards the two she-camels and cut off their humps and opened their flanks and took a part of their livers." (I said to Ibn Shihab, "Did he take part of the humps?" He replied, "He cut off their humps and carried them away.") ʿAli further said, "When I saw that dreadful sight, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him the news. The Prophet ﷺ came out in the company of Zaid bin Haritha who was with him then, and I too went with them. He went to Hamza and spoke harshly to him. Hamza looked up and said, 'Aren't you only the slaves of my forefathers?' The Prophet ﷺ retreated and went out. This incident happened before the prohibition of drinking."

I got a she-camel in my share of the war booty on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and the Prophet ﷺ had given me a she-camel from the Khumus. When I intended to marry Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle, I had an appointment with a goldsmith from the tribe of Bani Qainuqa' to go with me to bring Idhkhir (i.e. grass of pleasant smell) and sell it to the goldsmiths and spend its price on my wedding party. I was collecting for my she-camels equipment of saddles, sacks and ropes while my two shecamels were kneeling down beside the room of an Ansari man. I returned after collecting whatever I collected, to see the humps of my two she-camels cut off and their flanks cut open and some portion of their livers was taken out. When I saw that state of my two she-camels, I could not help weeping. I asked, "Who has done this?" The people replied, "Hamza bin ʿAbdul Muttalib who is staying with some Ansari drunks in this house." I went away till I reached the Prophet ﷺ and Zaid bin Haritha was with him. The Prophet ﷺ noticed on my face the effect of what I had suffered, so the Prophet ﷺ asked. "What is wrong with you." I replied, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have never seen such a day as today. Hamza attacked my two she-camels, cut off their humps, and ripped open their flanks, and he is sitting there in a house in the company of some drunks." The Prophet ﷺ then asked for his covering sheet, put it on, and set out walking followed by me and Zaid bin Haritha till he came to the house where Hamza was. He asked permission to enter, and they allowed him, and they were drunk. Messenger of Allah ﷺ started rebuking Hamza for what he had done, but Hamza was drunk and his eyes were red. Hamza looked at Messenger of Allah ﷺ and then he raised his eyes, looking at his knees, then he raised up his eyes looking at his umbilicus, and again he raised up his eyes look in at his face. Hamza then said, "Aren't you but the slaves of my father?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ realized that he was drunk, so Messenger of Allah ﷺ retreated, and we went out with him.

Hamza, get up for slaughtering the fat she-camels. Hamza attacked them with the sword and cut off their humps and ripped their haunches, and then took out their livers. I said to Ibn Shihab: Did he take out anything from the hump? He said: He cut off the humps altogether. Ibn Shihab reported 'Ali having said: I saw this (horrible) sight and it shocked me, and I came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and there was Zaid b, Haritha with him and communicated to him this news. He came in the company of Zaid and I also went along with him and he went to Hamza and he expressed anger with him. Hamza raised his eyes and said: Are you (not) but the servants of my father? Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned back on his heels (on hearing this) until he went away from them.

There fell to my lot a she-camel out of the spoils of war on the Day of Badr, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me (another) she-camel on that day out of the Khums (one-fifth reserved for Allah and His Messenger). When I made up my mind to consummate my marriage with Fatima, the daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I prevailed upon a goldsmith of the tribe of Qainuqa' to go along with me so that we might bring Idhkhir wishing to sell that to the goldsmiths and thus I should be able to arrange my wedding feast. While I was arranging the equipments. i. e. litters, sacks and ropes, my two she-camels were sitting down at the side of the apartment of a person of the Ansar. I collected (the different articles of equipment) and found to my surprise that their humps had been chopped off and their haunches had been cut off and their livers had been taken out. I could not help weeping when I saw that plight of theirs. I said: Who has done that? They said: Hamza b. 'Abd al-Muttalib has done this. and he is in this house dead drunk in the company of some of the Ansair with asinging girl singing before him and his companions. She said in her song: O Hamza. get up and attack these falty she-camels. Thereupon Hamza stood up with a sword (in his hand) and cut off their humps and ripped their haunches and tore out their livers. 'Ali said: I went away until I came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and there was with him Zaid b. Haritha. Messenger of Allah ﷺ recognised from my face what I had experienced, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What has happened to you? I said: Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I have never seen (such an unfortunate day) as this day. Hamza has committed aggression to my she-camels, and has cut off their humps. and ripped their haunches, and he is in a house in the company of some drunkards. (Hearing this) Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for his mantle and, putting it on him, he proceeded, and I and Zaid b. Haritha followed him, until he came to the door (of the house) in which there was Hamza. He (the Holy Prophet) sought permission which they granted him. and they were all drunk. Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to reprimand Hamza for what he had done. Hamza's eyes were red. He cast a glance at Messenger of Allah ﷺ and then looked towards his knees. and then lifted his eyes and cast a glance at his waist and then lifted his eyes and saw his face. And then Hamza said: Are you anything but the slaves of my father? Alah's Messenger ﷺ came to know that he was intoxicated, and he thus turned upon his heels, and came out, and we also came out along with him.

‘Ali bin Abi Talib said “I had an old she Camel that I got as my share from the booty on the day of Badr. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ also gave me an old she camel from the fifth that day. When I intended to cohabit with Fathimah daughter of the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ, I made arrangement with a man who was a goldsmith belonging to Banu Qainuqa’ to go with me so that we may bring grass. I intended to sell it to the goldsmith there by seeking help in my wedding feast. While I was collecting for my old Camels saddles, baskets and ropes both of she Camels were seated in a corner of the apartment of a man of the Ansar. When I collected what I collected (i.e., equipment) I turned (towards them). I suddenly found that the humps of she Camels were cut off and their hips were pierced and their lives were taken out. I could not control my eyes (to weep) when I saw that scene. I said “Who has done this?” They (the people) replied “Hamzah bin ‘Abd Al Muttalib”. He is among the drunkards of the Ansar in this house. A singing girl is singing for him and his Companions. While singing she said “Oh Hamza, rise to these plumpy old she Camels. So he jumped to the sword and cut off their humps, pierced their hips and took out their livers.” ‘Ali said “I went till I entered upon the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ while Zaid bin Harithah was with him.” The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ realized what I had met with. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ aid “What is the matter with you?” I said Apostle of Allaah ﷺ, I never saw the thing that happened with me today. Hamzah wronged my she Camels, he cut off their humps, pierced their hips. Lo! He is in a house with drunkards. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ asked for his cloak. It was brought to him. He then went out, I and Zaid bin Harithah followed him until we reached the house where Hamzah was. He asked permission ( to entre). He was permitted. He found drunkards there. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ began to rebuke him (Hamzah) for his action. Hamzah was intoxicated and his eyes were reddish. Hamzah looked at the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ. He then raised his eyes and looked at his knees, he then raised his eyes and looked at his navel and he then raised his eyes and looked at his face. Hamzah then said “Are you but the salves of my father? Then the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ knew that he was intoxicated. So the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ moved backward. He then went out and we also went out with him.”

I intended to sell it to the goldsmith there by seeking help in my wedding feast. While I was collecting for my old Camels saddles, baskets and ropes both of she Camels were seated in a corner of the apartment of a man of the Ansar. When I collected what I collected (i.e., equipment) I turned (towards them). I suddenly found that the humps of she Camels were cut off and their hips were pierced and their lives were taken out. I could not control my eyes (to weep) when I saw that scene. I said “Who has done this?” They (the people) replied “Hamzah bin ‘Abd Al Muttalib”. He is among the drunkards of the Ansar in this house. A singing girl is singing for him and his Companions. While singing she said “Oh Hamza, rise to these plumpy old she Camels. So he jumped to the sword and cut off their humps, pierced their hips and took out their livers.” ‘Ali said “I went till I entered upon the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ while Zaid bin Harithah was with him.” The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ realized what I had met with. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ aid “What is the matter with you?” I said Apostle of Allaah ﷺ, I never saw the thing that happened with me today. Hamzah wronged my she Camels, he cut off their humps, pierced their hips. Lo! He is in a house with drunkards. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ asked for his cloak. It was brought to him. He then went out, I and Zaid bin Harithah followed him until we reached the house where Hamzah was. He asked permission ( to entre). He was permitted. He found drunkards there. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ began to rebuke him (Hamzah) for his action. Hamzah was intoxicated and his eyes were reddish. Hamzah looked at the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ. He then raised his eyes and looked at his knees, he then raised his eyes and looked at his navel and he then raised his eyes and looked at his face. Hamzah then said “Are you but the salves of my father? Then the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ knew that he was intoxicated. So the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ moved backward. He then went out and we also went out with him.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2986)

"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: كَانَتْ لِى شَارِفٌ مِنْ نَصيبي مِنَ المَغْنَم يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، وَكَانَ النبِيُّ ﷺ أَعْطَانِى شَارِفَا مما أفاء الله عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الخُمْسَ يَوْمَئِذ، فَلَمَّا أرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبْتَنِى

بِفَاطِمَةَ ابْنَةَ النبِيِّ ﷺ وَاعَدْتُ رَجُلًا صَوَّاغا فِى بَنِى قَيْنُقَاع أَنْ يَرْتَحِلَ مَعِى فَنَأتِى بِإِذخِرٍ، وَأرَدْتُ أنْ أبيعَهُ فِى الصَّوَاغِينَ، فَأسْتَعِين بِهِ فِى وَلِيمَةِ عُرْسِى، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَجْمَعُ لِشَارِفَىَّ مَتَاعًا مِنَ الَأقْتَابِ وَالغَرَائِرِ وَالْحِبَالِ وَشَارِفَاىَ مُنَاخَانِ إِلَى جَنْبِ حُجْرَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأنْصَارِ حَتَّى جَمَعْتُ مَا جَمَعُت فَإِذَا أَنَا بِشَارِفِىَّ قَد أجتُبَّتْ أسْنمتُهُمَا، وَبُقِرَتْ خَوَاصرُهُمَا، وَأُخِذَ مِنْ أَكبَادِهِمَا، فَلَمْ أمْلِكْ عَيْنَىَ حينَ رَأيْتُ ذَلِكَ المَنْظَر (مِنْهُمَا) فَقُلتُ: مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا: فَعَلَهُ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ المُطَّلِبِ وَهُوَ في هَذَا البَيْتِ في شَرْبٍ مِنَ الأنْصَارِ غَنَّتْهُ قَيْنَةٌ وَأصْحَابَهُ، فَقَالَت في غِنَاهَا: ألاَ يَا حَمْزَ لِلشُّرُفِ النَّوَاءِ فَوَثَبَ حمزَةُ إِلَى السَّيْفِ، فَاجْتَث أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا، وَبَقرَ خَوَاصِرَهُمَا، وَأَخَذَ مِنْ أكبادِهِمَا، (قَالَ عَلِىٌّ). فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ عَلَى النَّبِي ﷺ وَعنْدهُ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، فَعَرفَ النَّبِي ﷺ فيَ وجْهِى الَّذِى لَقِيتُ، فَقَالَ: مَا لَكَ؟ قُلتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله (وَالله) مَا لَقِيت كَاليَوْمِ (قَطُّ) عَدَا حَمْزَةُ عَلَى نَاقَتَىَّ فَاجْتَبَّ أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا، وَبَقَر خَوَاصِرَهُمَا، وهَا هُوَ ذَا في بَيْتٍ مَعَهُ شَرْبٌ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ بِرِدَائِهِ فَارْتَدَاهُ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ يَمْشي وَاتبعْتُهُ أَنَا وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، حَتَّى جَاءَ البَيْتَ الَّذِى فِيهِ حَمْزَةُ فَاستَأذَنَ عَلَيْهِ فَأذِنَ لَهُ (فإذا هُمْ شَرْبٌ) فَطَفِقَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ يَلُومُ حَمْزَةَ فِيمَا فَعَلَ، فَإذَا حَمْزَةُ ثَمِلٌ مُحْمَرَةٌ عَيْنَاهُ، فَنَظَرَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى النَّبِى ﷺ فَصَعَّدَ النظَرَ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، ثُمَّ صَعَدَ النظَرَ (فَنَظَرَ) إِلَى سُرَّتهِ، ثُمَّ صَعَدَ النَّظَرَ فنظر إِلَى وَجْههِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ حَمْزة: وَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ إِلَّا عَبيدٌ لأِبِى؟ فَعَرَفَ النبِيّ ﷺ أَنَهُ ثَمِلٌ، فَنَكَصَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ القَهْقَرَى فَخَرَجَ وَخَرجْنَا مَعَهُ".
