[The text is lengthy, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]

6242 - Abd al-Rahman ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab ibn Nufail al-Qurashi al-Adawi, also known as Abd al-Rahman al-Awsat, nicknamed (Abu Shahmah). The mention of his older brother is found earlier in Part One. Ibn Abd al-Barr mentioned Abu Shahmah in the translation of his brother and said: He is the one whom Amr ibn al-Aas struck in Egypt for drinking alcohol, and then he was taken to Medina, where his father struck him as a form of paternal discipline. He then fell ill and died a month later. Thus, Mu'mar narrated it from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father. As for the people of Iraq, they say that he died under flogging, which is incorrect.

Ibn Hajar - Fath al-Bari Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari - His statement: Chapter on One Commanded to Impose the Legal Punishment in the House
Volume: (12) - Page Number: (65)
[The text is lengthy, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]

- His statement: (Chapter on One Commanded to Impose the Legal Punishment in the House): This means contrary to those who said that the legal punishment should not be administered in secret. And it has been reported from Umar in the story of the son of Abu Shahma when he drank in Egypt, and Amr ibn al-As punished him in the house, that Umar criticized him and brought him to Madinah, where he publicly administered the legal punishment. Ibn Sa'd narrated this, and al-Zubair alluded to it, and Abd al-Razzaq narrated it with a lengthy, authentic chain from Ibn Umar. The majority of scholars agree that it is sufficient to administer the punishment privately and interpret Umar's actions as an exaggeration in disciplining his son, not that the enforcement of the legal punishment is only valid when done publicly.

- .... And from the path of Abd al-Razzaq, who said: Ma'mar narrated to us from al-Zuhri from Salim ibn Abdullah ibn Umar from his father, who said: My brother Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab and Abu Sarwu'ah ibn Uqbah ibn al-Harith drank in Egypt during the caliphate of Umar and became intoxicated. When they woke up, they went to Amr ibn al-As, the governor of Egypt, and said to him: Purify us, for we have become intoxicated from a drink we consumed. So Amr ibn al-As flogged them. They said: This is Abdullah, who distinguished between wine and other intoxicating drinks, not considering them wine. And this is his brother Abdullah, who had companionship with the Prophet, and Abu Sarwu'ah, who also had companionship. Amr ibn al-As saw the punishment for intoxication from a drink they had shared, and it was reported authentically from Ibn Abbas what we presented earlier: "Wine is forbidden in its essence, whether in small or large quantities, and what intoxicates from any drink." All of them distinguished between wine and other intoxicating drinks, not viewing them as wine. They sought to establish that wine is nothing but that which comes from grapes.

- Abu al-Barakat Wajih ibn Tahir al-Shahhami informed us, saying: Abu Hamed Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Azhari informed me, saying: Abu Sa'id Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Hamdun the merchant informed me, saying: Abu Hamed Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Sharqi informed us, saying: Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Dhahli informed us, saying: Abu al-Yaman informed me, saying: Shu'aib, from al-Zuhri, from Salim ibn Abd Allah ibn Umar, that Abd Allah ibn Umar said: "My brother Abd al-Rahman ibn Umar drank, and Abu Sar'u'a Uqbah ibn al-Harith drank with him, while we were in Egypt during the caliphate of Umar, and they became drunk." When they sobered up, they went to Amr ibn al-As, who was the governor of Egypt, and said, "Purify us, for we have become drunk from a drink we took." Abd Allah ibn Umar said, "I did not realize that they had gone to Amr ibn al-As." My brother then mentioned to me that he had indeed become drunk, and I said to him, "Enter the house; I will purify you," and let me know that the prince had been informed. Abd Allah ibn Umar said, "I said, 'By God, he will not shave today in front of the people. Enter, and I will shave you.'" They would then shave in conjunction with a haircut. So he entered the house with him. Abd Allah ibn Umar said, "I shaved my brother myself," and then Amr ibn al-As punished them. When Umar heard of this, he wrote to him, "Send Abd al-Rahman ibn Umar to me on a camel." Amr did so, and when Abd al-Rahman arrived before Umar, he flogged him and reprimanded him because of his position with him, then sent him away. He remained healthy for a month, then what was destined befell him, and most people thought he died from Umar's flogging, but he did not die from it.

Ibn Shabah al-Namiri - Tarikh al-Madinah - Umar (ra) Enforcing Punishments on the Near and Distant
Volume: (3) - Page Number: (841/842)
[The text is lengthy, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]

- Abu Asim narrated to us, who said: Ibn Jurayh narrated to me, who said: Ibn Shuhab narrated to me from Salim ibn Abd Allah, from his father, who said: My brother Abd al-Rahman ibn Umar and Abu Sar'uwah Uqbah ibn al-Harith drank a beverage and became intoxicated in Egypt during the Caliphate of Umar (ra). When it was mid-morning, they went to Amr ibn al-As (ra), who was the governor in Egypt, and said: Purify us. My brother mentioned that he had become drunk, and I said to him: Enter the house, and I will purify you. He replied: I have informed the commander. I said: No, by Allah, you will not shave today in front of the people. He said that at that time, they used to shave as part of the punishment, so he entered the house with me. I then shaved my brother with my own hands while Amr punished them. When Umar (ra) heard of this, he wrote to Amr: Send Abd al-Rahman to me on a camel, and he did. When he arrived, Umar punished him for his behavior, then sent him away, and he remained for several months in good health. Then fate struck him, and most people thought he died from the punishment, but he did not die from it.

- Ubayd Allah ibn Musa narrated to us, who said: Ibn Abi Layla narrated to us from al-Shabi, who said: Umar (ra) struck one of his sons with a punishment. He came to him while he was dying and said: O father, you have killed me. He replied: When you meet your Lord, tell Him: We enforce the punishments.

17498 - Abu Sa'id ibn Abi Amr narrated to us, saying: Abu Muhammad al-Muzani narrated to us, saying: Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Isa narrated to us, saying: Abu al-Yaman narrated to me, quoting Shu'aib from al-Zuhri who said: Salim narrated to me that Abdullah ibn Umar said: My brother, Abdul Rahman ibn Amr, drank with Abu Saru'ah Uqbah ibn al-Harith, while we were in Misr during the caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and they both became intoxicated. When they recovered, they went to Amr ibn al-As, who was the governor of Misr, and said: Purify us, for we have indeed become intoxicated from a drink we consumed. Abdullah ibn Umar continued: I did not notice that they had approached Amr ibn al-As until my brother mentioned to me that he was indeed intoxicated. I said to him: Enter the house; I will purify you. He replied: The prince has already spoken. Abdullah said: I said, "By Allah, you will not have your head shaved today in front of the people. Enter, and I will shave it for you." At that time, they would shave heads as part of the punishment. So, he entered the house with me. Abdullah said: I shaved my brother's head with my own hands, and then Umar ibn al-As flogged them. When Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) heard of this, he wrote to Umar ibn al-As, saying, "Send Abdul Rahman ibn Amr to me on a camel." Umar ibn al-As did this, and when Abdul Rahman arrived before Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he flogged him and punished him because of his position. Then he sent him away, and he remained for several months in good health until he was struck by his fate, with most people thinking he died due to Umar's flogging, while he did not die from it. Sheikh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It seems that he was given a punishment of reprimand, for the punishment (hadd) is not to be repeated. And Allah knows best.

Book of Hudud - Chapter on Those Commanded to Be Whipped in the Home
Volume: (23) - Page Number: (267)
[The text is lengthy, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]

- .... This is a chapter mentioning those who were commanded to be whipped in the home, so he seems to have titled this chapter as a response to those who say: "Limits should not be administered in secret." Ibn Sa'd narrated from Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the story of his son Abu Shahma, when he drank in Egypt, and Amr ibn al-As administered a punishment in the house. Umar objected to him and brought him to Medina, where he publicly enacted the punishment. Scholars interpret this as an act of emphasizing discipline towards his son, not because administering a limit is only valid in public.

17047 - عبد الرزاق narrated to us, saying: Ma'mar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Salim from Ibn Umar, who said: My brother Abdul Rahman ibn Umar drank, and with him drank Abu Sar'ah Uqbah ibn al-Harith, while they were in Egypt during the caliphate of Umar, and they became intoxicated. When they awoke, they went to Amr ibn al-As, who was the governor of Egypt, and said: "Purify us, for we have become intoxicated from a drink we had." Abdullah said: My brother mentioned to me that he was intoxicated, and I said: "Enter the house, I will purify you," not realizing that they had gone to Amr. My brother informed me that he had told the emir about it. Abdullah said: "The people should not shave their heads in front of others. Enter the house, and I will shave you," - and they used to shave heads alongside administering punishments at that time. So he entered the house, and Abdullah said: I shaved my brother's head with my own hands, and then Amr punished them. When Umar heard of this, he wrote to Amr: "Send Abdul Rahman to me on a camel," and he did so. When he arrived before Umar, he was punished and reprimanded because of his position, then he was released. He remained for a month in good health, then he was struck by his fate and died, and most people think that he died from Umar's punishment, but he did not die from Umar's punishment.

- Shu'aib ibn Dinar narrated to me from Ibn Shuhab al-Zuhri who said: Salim ibn Abdullah ibn Umar narrated to me that Abdullah ibn Umar said: "Abdur Rahman ibn Umar drank, and with him drank Abu Sarwu'ah Uqbah ibn al-Harith - while we were in Egypt during the caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab - and they both became drunk. When they regained their senses, they went to Amr ibn al-As - who was the governor of Egypt - and said: 'Purify us, for we have become drunk from a drink we had.' Abdullah ibn Umar said: And I did not realize they had gone to Amr ibn al-As. Then Abdullah ibn Umar's brother mentioned to me that he had become drunk, and I said to him: 'Enter the house, and I will purify you.' He then informed me that the prince had been informed. Abdullah ibn Umar said: I said, 'By God, you will not shave today in front of people; come in, and I will shave you.' - and at that time they would be shaved with a reprimand. So he entered the house with me. Abdullah said: I shaved my brother with my own hands, and then Amr ibn al-As flogged them. Umar ibn al-Khattab heard of this and wrote to Amr: "Send me Abdur Rahman ibn Umar on a camel." Amr did as he was instructed, and when Abdur Rahman arrived before Umar, he flogged him and punished him due to his position, and then sent him away. He remained for several months in good health, then fate struck him, and most people thought he died from Umar's flogging, but he did not die from it.

3 - Abdul Rahman ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab had three sons, the eldest of whom was Abu Beyhas, and Beyhas was a nickname, his name being Abdullah. Abdul Rahman the elder was of an age to have encountered the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) but did not preserve any memories from him. Abdul Rahman ibn Umar the middle son was Abu Shahma, and he was the one whom Amr ibn al-As struck in Egypt over wine, then carried him to Medina, where his father struck him in parental discipline. He then fell ill and died a month later. Ibn Abd al-Bar said: This is how Mu'mar narrates it from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father, while the people of Iraq say that he died under the whips of Umar, which is incorrect. Abdul Rahman ibn Umar the youngest was Abu al-Mujabbir, and he was named that because he fell when he was small and broke his bones, so he was brought to Hafsa, the Mother of the Faithful, and told: "Look at your crushed nephew." She replied: "By Allah, he is not crushed, but rather he is al-Mujabbir."

Ibn al-As refused. He replied: 'I will inform my father when I return to him.' وSo Ibn al-As struck him with the prescribed punishment in his house. Umar wrote to him, reproaching him, to which Ibn al-As said: 'You should have done to him what you do to Muslims.' When he arrived in front of Umar, Umar struck him.

Volume: (2) - Page Number: (842/843)
[The text is lengthy, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]

1443 - Abd al-Rahman al-Akbar ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab, the brother of Abdullah ibn Umar and Hafsa bint Umar, was their father and mother's son, and their mother was Zaynab bint Makhzun ibn Habib ibn Wahb, the sister of Uthman ibn Makhzun. He is Abu Bahish, and Bahish is a nickname, while his name was Abdullah ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Umar. His father, Abd al-Rahman ibn Umar, saw the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) and was of his age but did not retain any memories of him. Abd al-Rahman ibn Umar al-Awsat was Abu Shahma, and he was the one whom Amr ibn al-As struck in Egypt over alcohol, then carried to Medina, where his father struck him as a form of parental discipline. He then fell ill and died after a month. This is how Mu'mar narrated it from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father. However, the people of Iraq say that he died under the whips of Umar, which is incorrect. Al-Zubair said: Umar imposed the hadd (legal punishment) of drinking on him, and he fell ill and died. Abd al-Rahman ibn Umar al-Asghar was Abu al-Mujabbir, whose name was also Abd al-Rahman ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab. He was named al-Mujabbir because he fell and broke his bones while still a boy, so he was brought to his aunt Hafsa, the Mother of the Believers. It was said to her: "Look at your nephew, who is broken." She replied: "By God, he is not broken, but rather al-Mujabbir." This was mentioned by the Adawy and others. Al-Zubair said: Abd al-Rahman al-Asghar died, leaving behind a small son or an unborn child, and Hafsa bint Umar named him Abd al-Rahman and called him al-Mujabbir, hoping that God would compensate him.
