Mishkat al-Masabih 3623

‘Umair b. Sa'id an-Nakha‘i told that he heard ‘Ali b. Abu Talib say, “I am not one to have any feelings about a man who dies when I inflict a prescribed punishment on him, with the exception of one who has drunk wine, for if he were to die I would pay blood wit for him. Thai is because Allah's Messenger ﷺ did not lay down any specific custom regarding him.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

عَن عُمَيْر بن سعيد النخفي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقُولُ: مَا كُنْتُ لِأُقِيمَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ حَدًّا فَيَمُوتَ فَأَجِدَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْهُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا صَاحِبَ الْخَمْرِ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ مَاتَ وَدَيْتُهُ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يسنه
