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
