Sahih Muslim Book - 29, Hadith - 4454

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِى أَبِى عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ نَبِىَّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- جَلَدَ فِى الْخَمْرِ بِالْجَرِيدِ وَالنِّعَالِ ثُمَّ جَلَدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ. فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ وَدَنَا النَّاسُ مِنَ الرِّيفِ وَالْقُرَى قَالَ مَا تَرَوْنَ فِى جَلْدِ الْخَمْرِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ أَرَى أَنْ تَجْعَلَهَا كَأَخَفِّ الْحُدُودِ. قَالَ فَجَلَدَ عُمَرُ ثَمَانِينَ.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) whipped people for drinking wine with palm branches and shoes, then Abu Bakr ordered that forty lashes be given, but when 'Umar was caliph, the people drew near to countryside and cities. He said: "What do you think about whipping for drinking wine?" 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf said: "I think you should make it like the lightest of the If add punishments" so 'Umar ordered that eighty lashes be given.
