While we were in the city of Hims (in Syria), Ibn Masʿud recited Surat Yusuf. A man said to him), "It was not revealed in this way." Then Ibn Masʿud said, "I recited it in this way before Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he confirmed my recitation by saying, 'Well done!' " Ibn Masʿud detected the smell of wine from the man's mouth, so he said to him, "Aren't you ashamed of telling a lie about Allah's Book and (along with this) you drink alcoholic liquors too?" Then he lashed him according to the law.
قَرَأْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ وَوَجَدَ مِنْهُ رِيحَ الْخَمْرِ فَقَالَ أَتَجْمَعُ أَنْ تُكَذِّبَ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَتَشْرَبَ الْخَمْرَ فَضَرَبَهُ الْحَدَّ
