- .... And from the route of Abd al-Razzaq, who said: Ma'mar narrated to us from al-Zuhri, from Salim ibn Abd Allah ibn Umar, from his father, who said: My brother Abd al-Rahman ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab and Abu Sarua ibn Uqbah ibn al-Harith drank in Egypt during the Caliphate of Umar and became intoxicated. When they awoke, they went to Amr ibn al-As, the governor of Egypt, and said to him: Purify us, for we have indeed become intoxicated from a drink we consumed, so Amr ibn al-As punished them with a beating. They said, "This is Abd Allah who differentiated between wine and other intoxicating drinks, not considering them wine, and this is his brother Abd al-Rahman - who had companionship with the Prophet - and Abu Sarua - who also had companionship. Amr ibn al-As saw the punishment for intoxication from a drink they had consumed, and it is reported that Ibn Abbas affirmed what we mentioned earlier: 'Wine is prohibited in its essence, both in small and large quantities, and what intoxicates from every drink.' They all differentiated between wine and other intoxicating drinks, not viewing them as wine, and they aimed to establish that wine is nothing but from grapes."

When they became sober, 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 was not aware that they had come to Amr ibn al-As. Abdullah ibn Umar continued: My brother mentioned to me that he had become drunk, and I said to him: "Enter the house, and I will purify you." Then inform me that something has happened to the emir. Abdullah ibn Umar said: I swear, I will not allow him to be shaved today in front of the people. "Enter, and I will shave you," I said. At that time, they were shaving heads as part of a punishment. So he entered the house with him. Abdullah ibn Umar said: I shaved my brother with my own hands, and then Amr ibn al-As punished them. When Umar heard of this, he wrote to him: "Send Abdul Rahman ibn Umar to me on a camel." Amr did as commanded, and when Abdul Rahman arrived before Umar, he flogged him and punished him because of his position, 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 punishment, but he did not die from the punishment itself.

- Abu Asim narrated to us, saying: Ibn Jurayh narrated to me, saying: Ibn Shihab narrated to me that Salim ibn Abdullah told him, from his father, who said: My brother, Abd al-Rahman ibn Umar, and Abu Saru'ah Uqbah ibn al-Harith drank a beverage together and became intoxicated in Egypt during the caliphate of Umar (ra). When it was noon, they went to Amr ibn al-As (ra), who was the governor in Egypt, and said: "Purify us." My brother mentioned to me that he was drunk, and I said to him: "Enter the house, and I will purify you." He replied: "I have already told the emir." I said: "By no means will you be shaved today in front of the people." He said that they would then shave (heads) along with the punishment, so he entered the house with me. I then shaved my brother with my own hands, while Amr punished both of them. Umar (ra) heard of this and wrote to Amr: "Send Abd al-Rahman to me on a camel," and he did. When he arrived, Umar punished him because of his (previous) position, then sent him back. He remained for several months in good health, but then fate befell him, and most people thought he died from the punishment, although he did not die from the punishment.

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, from Shu'aib, from al-Zuhri, who narrated to me from Salim, that Abdullah ibn Umar said: My brother, Abdul Rahman ibn Amr, drank with Abu Sar'ua 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 regained their senses, they went to Amr ibn al-As, who was the governor of Misr, and said, "Purify us, for we have become intoxicated from a drink we consumed." Abdullah ibn Umar said: I did not realize they had gone to Amr ibn al-As until my brother told me 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 shave today in front of the people. Enter, and I will shave you." At that time, they would shave as a form of punishment. So he entered the house with me. Abdullah said: I shaved my brother with my own hands, and then Umar ibn al-As punished them both. When Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) heard of this, he wrote to Umar ibn al-As, saying, "Send for Abdul Rahman ibn Amr on a camel." Umar ibn al-As did as instructed. When Abdul Rahman arrived before Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he punished him and reprimanded him because of his position with him, then sent him away. He remained for several months in good health, but then misfortune befell him, and most people thought he died from Umar's punishment, whereas he did not die from it. The Sheikh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It seems that he was punished with a punishment of reprimand, for a fixed punishment is not repeated, and Allah knows best.

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 told me that he was intoxicated, and I said: "Enter the house, and I will purify you," not realizing that they had gone to Amr. My brother informed me that he had told the governor about it. Abdullah said: "Does not the people see that they are not to be shaved in front of others? Enter the house, and I will shave you," - and they used to shave as part of the punishments at that time. So they entered the house. Abdullah said: I shaved my brother with my own hands, and then Amr punished them. When Umar heard of this, he wrote to Amr, saying: "Send Abd al-Rahman to me on a camel," and he did so. When he arrived before Umar, he punished him and reprimanded him for his position, then sent him away. He remained healthy for a month, then he experienced his destined end and died, and most people think he died from Umar's punishment, but he did not die from Umar's punishment.

- Shu'aib ibn Dinar narrated to me from Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri who said: Salim ibn Abdullah ibn Umar narrated to me that Abdullah ibn Umar said: "Abdurrahman ibn Umar and Abu Sarwu'ah Uqbah ibn al-Harith drank together - while we were in Egypt during the caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab - and they became intoxicated. When they sobered up, they went to Amr ibn al-As - who was the governor of Egypt - and said: 'Purge us, for we have become intoxicated from a drink we had.'" Abdullah ibn Umar said: "I did not realize they had gone to Amr ibn al-As." He continued: "My brother mentioned to me that he had indeed become drunk, and I said to him: 'Enter the house, and I will purify you.' So he informed me that he had updated the prince." Abdullah ibn Umar said: "I then said, 'By God, you will not shave today in front of people. Enter, and I will shave you myself' - and at that time, they would shave with a limit." He entered the house with me. Abdullah continued: "So I shaved my brother with my own hands, and then Amr ibn al-As flogged them. Umar ibn al-Khattab heard of it and wrote to Amr: 'Send Abdurrhman ibn Umar to me on a saddled camel.'" Amr did so. When Abdurrhman arrived before Umar, he flogged him and punished him because of his position, then sent him away. Abdurrhman remained for several months in good health, then he suffered an event that most people believed he died from Umar's flogging, but he did not die from it.
