Bulugh al-Maram #1432

Hudud

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

وَعَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- عَنْ اَلنَّبِيِّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي شَارِبِ اَلْخَمْرِ: { إِذَا شَرِبَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ, ثُمَّ إِذَا شَرِبَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ, ثُمَّ إِذَا شَرِبَ اَلثَّالِثَةِ فَاجْلِدُوهُ, ثُمَّ إِذَا شَرِبَ اَلرَّابِعَةِ فَاضْرِبُوا عُنُقَهُ } أَخْرَجَهُ أَحْمَدُ وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ, وَالْأَرْبَعَة ُ 1‏ .‏‏1 ‏- صحيح رواه أحمد ( 4 / 96 و 101 )‏ والنسائي في " الكبرى"، وأبو داود ( 4482 )‏، والترمذي ( 1444 )‏، وابن ماجه ( 2573 )‏.‏
Mu'awiyah (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said regarding the one who drinks alcohol, 'If he drinks (for the first time) flog him, then if he drinks for the second time flog him, then if he drinks for the third time flog him then if he drinks for the fourth time you should kill him." Related by Ahmad and the wording is his. It is also transmitted by the four Imams.
