أُتِيَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) بِالنَّجَاشِيِّ الشَّاعِرِ قَدْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَضَرَبَهُ ثَمَانِينَ ثُمَّ حَبَسَهُ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ دَعَا بِهِ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَضَرَبَهُ عِشْرِينَ سَوْطاً فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَدْ ضَرَبْتَنِي فِي شُرْبِ الْخَمْرِ وَ هَذِهِ الْعِشْرُونَ مَا هِيَ فَقَالَ هَذَا لِتَجَرِّيكَ عَلَى شُرْبِ الْخَمْرِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Salim, from Ahmad Bin Al Nazar, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabid, raising it, from Abu Maryam who said, ‘They came to Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> with Al-Najjashy the poet who had drunk the wine during the Month of Ramazan. So he<sup>asws</sup> whipped him eighty (lashes). Then he<sup>asws</sup> held him in custody for one night. The he<sup>asws</sup> called for him in the morning, so he<sup>asws</sup> whipped him twenty lashes’. So he said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>! You<sup>asws</sup> have already whipped me with regards to drinking the wine, and these twenty, what are they for?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This is for your audacity on drinking of the wine during the Month of Ramazan’.
