حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُتِيَ بِنُعَيْمَانَ أَوْ بِابْنِ نُعَيْمَانَ وَهْوَ سَكْرَانُ فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَمَرَ مَنْ فِي الْبَيْتِ أَنْ يَضْرِبُوهُ، فَضَرَبُوهُ بِالْجَرِيدِ وَالنِّعَالِ، وَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ ضَرَبَهُ‏.‏
An-Nu`man or the son of An-Nu`man was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) in a state of intoxication. The Prophet felt it hard (was angry) and ordered all those who were present in the house, to beat him. And they beat him, using palm-leaf stalks and shoes, and I was among those who beat him.
