Humran reported, "I was present with Uthman bin Affan when Walid was brought before him, having led the morning prayer with two units, after which he said, 'Shall I add more for you?'Two men testified against him. One of them, Humran, testified that Walid had drunk wine, while the other testified that he had seen him vomiting it.Uthman said, "He would not have vomited it had he not drunk it."Then he said, "Ali, get up and flog him."Ali said, "Hasan, get up and flog him."Hasan replied, "Let the one who enjoys its sweetness bear its bitterness." It seemed he was displeased with the task.So Ali said, "Abdullah bin Jafar, get up and flog him." He flogged him while Ali counted, until he reached forty.Then Ali said, "Stop." He then said, "The Prophet ﷺ flogged forty lashes, Abu Bakr flogged forty, and Umar flogged eighty. Each is sunnah, but this one is more beloved to me."
شهدت عثمان بن عفان وأتي بالوليد، قد صلى الصبح ركعتين. ثم قال: أزيدكم؟ فشهد عليه رجلان: أحدهما حمران أنه شرب الخمر. وشهد آخر أنه رآه يتقيأ. فقال عثمان: إنه لم يتقيأ حتى شربها. فقال: يا علي، قم فاجلده، فقال علي: قم يا حسن فاجلده، فقال الحسن: ول حارها من تولى قارها- فكأنه وجد عليه- فقال: يا عبد الله بن جعفر، قم فاجلده، فجلده وعلي يعد، حتى بلغ أربعين. فقال: أمسك. ثم قال: جلد النبي ﷺ أربعين، وجلد أبو بكر أربعين، وعمر ثمانين. كل سنة وهذا أحب إلي.
Muslim narrated it in the Book of Legal Punishments (1707) through several chains from Ismail bin Ulaya, from Ibn Abu Aruba, from Abdullah Danaj. And from Ishaq bin Ibrahim Hanzali (that is, Ibn Rahawayh), and this wording is his, "Yahya bin Hammad informed us, Abdul-Aziz bin Mukhtar narrated to us, Abdullah bin Firuz, the client of Ibn Amir Danaj, narrated to us, Husayn bin Mundhir Abu Sasan narrated to us" (then he mentioned it).His saying, "Let the one who bears its heat also bear its cold" is a proverb meaning, let the punishment and the beating fall upon the one who undertook the work and enjoyed its benefit. Al-qar means the cold. Asmai said, "Let the one who bears its heat also bear its cold" means, let the harsher part fall upon the one who took on the easier part. Abu Dawud mentioned it (4480).
