قُلْتُ لَهُ كَيْفَ كَانَ يَجْلِدُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَالَ فَقَالَ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ بِالنِّعَالِ وَ يَزِيدُ كُلَّمَا أُتِيَ بِالشَّارِبِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلِ النَّاسُ يَزِيدُونَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى ثَمَانِينَ أَشَارَ بِذَلِكَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) عَلَى عُمَرَ فَرَضِيَ بِهَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, (the narrator) says, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘How did Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> used to whip?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He<sup>saww</sup> used to whip by the slippers (feet) and he<sup>saww</sup> increased, every time they came with a drinker. Then the people did not cease to increase until it paused at eighty (lashes). Ali<sup>asws</sup> pointed that out to Umar, so he was pleased with it’.
