[Machine] A man came to Abdullah with his nephew who was drunk, and he said, "I found him drunk." Abdullah said, "Cover him and pamper him and reprimand him." The man covered him, pampered him, and reprimanded him, and the smell of alcohol was detected from him. Abdullah ordered him to be taken to prison, then he released him the next day. Then he ordered a whip, and it was struck until the skin broke and it became bleeding. Then he said to the executioner, "Whip him again and return your hand, and give each body part its right." So he beat him in a non-excessive manner and put him in a robe and trousers or a shirt and trousers. Then he said, "By the oath of Allah and the womb of Taim, I have not taught him manners but he has taught me manners, and I have not concealed his disgrace." The man said, "O Abu Abdullah, indeed he is my nephew, and I feel for him as I feel for my own son." Abdullah said, "Indeed, Allah loves forgiveness, and it is not appropriate for a guardian to impose a punishment unless he establishes it."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ بِابْنِ أَخٍ لَهُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ سَكْرَانَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ هَذَا سَكْرَانَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «تَرْتِرُوهُ وَمَزْمِزُوهُ وَاسْتَنْكِهُوهُ» قَالَ فَتُرْتِرَ وَمُزْمِزَ وَاسْتُنْكِهَ فَوُجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحُ الشَّرَابِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِلَى السِّجْنِ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِسَوْطٍ فَدُقَّتْ ثَمَرَتُهُ حَتَّى أَحْنَتْ لَهُ مِخْفَقَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْجَلَّادِ «اجْلِدْ وَأَرْجِعْ يَدَكَ وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ ذِي عُضْوٍ حَقَّهُ» فَضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبًا غَيْرَ مُبَرِّحٍ وَجَعَلَهُ فِي قُبَاءٍ وَسَرَاوِيلَ أَوْ قَمِيصٍ وَسَرَاوِيلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِئْسَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ وَالِي التَّيْمِ مَا أَدَّبْتُ فَأَحْسَنْتُ الْأَدَبَ وَلَا سَتَرْتُ الْخِزْيَةَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّهُ ابْنُ أَخِي أَجِدُ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّوْعَةِ مَا أَجِدُ لِوَلَدِي فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ وَلَا يَنْبَغِي لِوَالٍ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِحَدٍّ إِلَّا أَقَامَهُ»  

[Machine] A man came to Abdullah with his drunken nephew and said, "I found him drunk." Abdullah said, "Mock him, jeer at him, and rebuke him." So they mocked, jeered, and rebuked him. The smell of alcohol was detected from him. Abdullah ordered him to be imprisoned and then released him the next day. Then he ordered for a whip, and it was applied until it left marks on his body. Then he said to the executioner, "Whip him and withdraw your hand, and give each body part its rightful share." So he struck him with moderate blows and put him in a jacket and pants. Abdullah said, "By Allah and the Wali of Taym, I have not disciplined anyone better than I have disciplined him, nor concealed disgrace." The man said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, he is my cousin's son, and I have never had the same trouble with my own children." Abdullah said, "Verily, Allah loves forgiveness, and it is not appropriate for a guardian to impose a punishment unless he establishes it."

[Machine] A man from the Muslims came to Abdullah bin Mas'ud with his drunk nephew. He mentioned the hadith about how to punish him, then said to his uncle, "By Allah, he is indeed my nephew, and I have no children of my own. I feel for him the same way I feel for my own child. But I did not neglect goodness." Abdullah said, "Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and He loves forgiveness. However, it is not appropriate for a leader to implement a punishment without establishing it first." Then he began to narrate to us from the Prophet ﷺ, who said, "The first person to have his hand cut off among the Muslims was a man from the Ansar. The Prophet ﷺ was brought to him and he had committed theft. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Go with your companion and cut off his hand.' It was as if the face of the Prophet ﷺ became visibly upset. Then he signaled with his hand to hide it and said, 'Some of the people seem to think that this is difficult for you.' He said, 'You should not be helpers of Satan or Iblis. It is not appropriate for a leader to implement a punishment without establishing it. Allah is Forgiving and He loves forgiveness.' Then he recited the verse: 'And let them pardon and overlook.' (Quran 24:22) This narration was mentioned to us by Aḥmad, through Abū Nuʿaym, through Sufyān, through Yahyá al-Jābir, through Abū Mājid, through Abdullah, from the Prophet ﷺ, with a similar wording."
