English narration
Narrated by عبد الرحمن بن الأزهر الزهري
Narrated Abdur Rahman ibn Azhar: I can still picture myself looking at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was among the camps of the Companions seeking the camp of Khalid ibn al-Walid, when a man who had drunk wine was brought before him. He asked the people: Beat him. Some struck him with sandals, some with sticks and some with fresh branches of the palm-tree (mitakhah). Ibn Wahb said: This (mitakhah) means green palm fronds. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took some dust from the ground and threw it on his face.

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ الْمِصْرِيُّ ابْنُ أَخِي رِشْدِينَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَهُ ،عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَزْهَرَ ، قَالَ : "
كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْآنَ وَهُوَ فِي الرِّحَالِ يَلْتَمِسُ رَحْلَ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ ، فَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ : اضْرِبُوهُ ، فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِالنِّعَالِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِالْعَصَا وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِالْمِيتَخَةِ ، قَالَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ : الْجَرِيدَةُ الرَّطْبَةُ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُرَابًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَرَمَى بِهِ فِي وَجْهِهِ
