47. Virtues of the Qur'ān
٤٧۔ كِتَابُ فَضَائِلِ الْقُرْآنِ
I was in Hims when some of the people asked me to recite the Qur'an to them. So I recited Surah Yusuf to them. One of the persons among the people said: By Allah, this is not how it has been sent down. I said: Woe upon you! By Allah, I recited it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to me: You have (recited) it well. I was talking with him (the man who objected to my recitation) that I sensed the smell of wine from him. So I said to him. Do you drink wine and belie the Book (of Allah)? You would not depart till I would whip you. So I lashed him according to the prescribed punishment (for the offence of drinking wine). (Using translation from Muslim 801a)
بَيْنَا أَنَا بِالشَّامِ بِحِمْصَ فَقِيلَ لِي اقْرَأْ سُورَةَ يُوسُفَ فَقَرَأْتُهَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ «مَا كَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ» فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أُكَلِّمُهُ إِذْ وَجَدْتُ رِيحَ الْخَمْرِ قُلْتُ أَتُكَذِّبُ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَتَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ وَاللهِ لَا تَبْرَحُ حَتَّى أَجْلِدَكَ الْحَدَّ
