Explanation of the words of Imam al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding what he quoted: "

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And the buyer will be strict with her until he prevents her from doing that.
As for his second hadith, it is:
When a man who had been drinking was brought to the Prophet أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أتي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم برجل قد شرب الخمر
Mishkat al-Masabih 3626

And intoxicants are: "anything that intoxicates", and the meaning of intoxication is: "the loss of reason due to intense pleasure", because the loss of reason sometimes occurs due to a drug like anesthesia, and that is not intoxication; sometimes it occurs due to fainting; and sometimes it occurs due to intoxication, which is the covering of the mind with pleasure and delight. For this reason, you find the intoxicated person—and may Allah protect us from that—imagining himself to be as if he were one of the kings, as the poet said: "And we drink it, and it leaves us as kings". And as Hamzah ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib, the uncle of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), said when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to him and he was drunk before intoxicants were forbidden, and he spoke to him about it. Hamzah said to him:
Are you but the salves of my father? هل أنتم إلا عبيد أبي
Sunan Abi Dawud 2986Sahih (Al-Albani)
, speaking to the Messenger (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him), and he (may Allah be pleased with him) was among the most reverent of people toward the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but he was intoxicated.
So the conclusion is that intoxication is the covering of the mind in a state of pleasure and delight.
And intoxicants are anything that covers the mind, whether it is a drink that is customarily consumed or not, and whether it is from grape juice, dates, barley, wheat, or other juices that intoxicate. The whole criterion is intoxication.
So the Prophet (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) said:
Strike him or flog him. Abu Hurayrah said: So some of us struck him with his hand, some with his whip, and some with his sandal اضربوه أو اجلدوه ، قال أبو هريرة : فمنا الضارب بيده، ومنا الضارب بسوطه، ومنا الضارب بنعله
, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify a certain number for them.
When they finished with him, a man said to him: May Allah disgrace you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not assist Satan against him فلما انتهوا منه قال له رجل : أخزاك الله ، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : لا تعينوا عليه الشيطان
, because disgrace means shame and humiliation. So if you say: "May Allah disgrace you," you are calling upon Allah to humble and expose him, and thus you assist Satan against him.
And in this hadith is evidence that the punishment for intoxicants is not a specific fixed punishment (hadd). For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not set a limit for them, nor did he count it. Each person struck with whatever was available: one with his hand, one with the end of his garment, one with his stick, and one with his sandal. He did not set a limit in this matter, and the matter remained so.
In the time of Abu Bakr, it was estimated to be about forty lashes. In the time of 'Umar, the number of people who entered Islam increased, and some of them entered without desire. So the drinking of intoxicants increased in the time of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). When he saw that the people had increased in it, he consulted the Companions about what to do.
So 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The lightest of the fixed punishments is eighty lashes, which is the punishment for falsely accusing someone of zina." So 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) raised the punishment for the drinker of intoxicants to eighty lashes.
So in this is evidence that when a person commits a sin and is punished for it in this world, it is not permissible for us to call upon him for disgrace and shame. Rather, we ask Allah for his guidance, and we ask Allah for his forgiveness. And success is from Allah.
The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions:
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) quoted: "From Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
A man who drank wine was brought to the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Beat him!" Abu Huraira added, "So some of us beat him with our hands, and some with their shoes, and some with their garments (by twisting it) like a lash, and then when we finished, someone said to him, 'May Allah disgrace you!' On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Do not say so, for you are helping Satan to overpower him.' أُتي النبيُ صلى الله عليه وسلم برجل قد شرب خمرا فقال : اضربوه ، قال أبو هريرة : فمنا الضارب بيده والضارب بنعله والضارب بثوبه ، فلما انصرف قال بعض القوم : أخزاك الله ، قال : لا تقولوا هكذا لا تعينوا عليه الشيطان
Sahih al-Bukhari 6777
, Al-Bukhari narrated it"
