وعنه قال: أتي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم برجل قد شرب قال: «اضربوه«قال أبو هريرة: فمنا الضارب بيده، والضارب بنعله، والضارب بثوبه. فلما انصرف، قال بعض القوم: أخزاك الله، قال: «لا تقولوا هذا، لا تُعينوا عليه الشيطان»
A drunkard was brought to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). He said, “Give him a beating.” Then some beat him with their hands, some with their shoes, and some with (a folded) piece of cloth. When he left, someone said to him: “May Allah disgrace you!” The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Do not help Satan overcome him by uttering such words.”.
