[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."
