2040 قول علي رضي الله عنه : ما كنت لأقيم حدًّا على أحد فيموت، فأجد في نفسي، إلا صاحب الخمر، فإنه لو مات وديته، وذلك أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لم يَسُنَّه
‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I would not blame myself for the death of any person when inflicting a prescribed corporal punishment on him, with the exception of the one who drinks alcohols, for if he were to die (when being punished), I would pay blood money to his family, because no punishment has been fixed by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) for him

عن علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه قال: «ما كنتُ لأقيمَ حَدّاً على أحد فيموت، فأجدَ في نَفسِي، إلا صاحب الخمر، فإنه لو مات وَدَيْتُهُ، وذلك أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لم يَسُنَّهُ».

‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I would not blame myself for the death of any person when inflicting a prescribed corporal punishment on him, with the exception of the one who drinks alcohols, for if he were to die (when being punished), I would pay blood money to his family, because no punishment has been fixed by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) for him.

صحيح - ( رواه البخاري ). Sahih/Authentic. [Al-Bukhari]

عن علي رضي الله عنه قال: ما كنت لأقيم على أحد حدا، فيموت بسبب الحد فأحزن وآسف عليه، إلا شارب الخمر، فإنه لو مات غرمت ديته من بيت المال لورثته،لأنَّ عقوبته زادت على ما يجب عليه من حدود الله؛ فأخف الحدود كمًّا وكيفًا هو حد الشارب الخمر. فيفهم من الحديث أن الخمر لم يكن فيه حد محدود من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فهو من باب التعزيرات فإن مات لايضمن وفعل علي رضي الله عنه هنا من باب الاحتياط، وقد خالفه غيره من الصحابة.
In this Hadīth, ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that he would not feel sorry for a person who dies because of receiving a prescribed corporal punishment applied against him, except the one who drinks alcohols. If such a person died when being punished, ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) would pay blood money to his family from the Muslim Treasury, since his penalty exceeded the deserved corporal punishment for drinking alcohols, which is the least prescribed punishment as to size and severity. Based on the Hadīth, no fixed punishment has been set by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) for drinking alcohols. That being the case, it is considered a discretionary punishment and there is no liability if it led to the death of the penalized person. What was stated here by ‘Ali,(may Allah be pleased with him) is a precautionary procedure, regarding which other Companions disagreed with him.

الحدود المقدرة، كالزنا والقذف قدرها الشارع الحكيم، وحدَّها، فلا يزاد عليها، ولا ينقص منها. من مات من الحد المقدر من الله -تعالى- بلا زيادة، فإنَّها سراية من عمل مشروع مأذون فيه، فلا قصاص، ولا دية، ولا كفارة؛ لأنَّ الحق قتله بالإجماع. أن الخمر لم يكن فيه حد محدود من رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فهو من باب التعزيرات. أن خطأ الإمام عليه, ويكون ضمانه من بيت المال على الصحيح. على الإمام أن يحتاط في إقامة الحد.
