Hadith text · Matn

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَصِينٍ، سَمِعْتُ عُمَيْرَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ النَّخَعِيَّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لأُقِيمَ حَدًّا عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَيَمُوتَ، فَأَجِدَ فِي نَفْسِي، إِلاَّ صَاحِبَ الْخَمْرِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ مَاتَ وَدَيْتُهُ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ يَسُنَّهُ‏.‏

English translation

Narrated `Ali bin Abi Talib:

I would not feel sorry for one who dies because of receiving a legal punishment, except the drunk, for if he should die (when being punished), I would give blood money to his family because no fixed punishment has been ordered by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for the drunk.
