حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ الْمِصْرِيُّ ابْنُ أَخِي رِشْدِينَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّابْنَ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَهُ،‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَزْهَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْآنَ وَهُوَ فِي الرِّحَالِ يَلْتَمِسُ رَحْلَ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ:‏‏‏‏ اضْرِبُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِالنِّعَالِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِالْعَصَا وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ ضَرَبَهُ بِالْمِيتَخَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ:‏‏‏‏ الْجَرِيدَةُ الرَّطْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُرَابًا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَرَمَى بِهِ فِي وَجْهِهِ .

I can still picture myself looking at the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم who was among the camps of the Companions seeking the camp of Khalid bin al-Walid رضی اللہ عنہ, when a man who had drunk wine was brought before him. He asked the people: Beat him. Some struck him with sandals, some with sticks and some with fresh branches of the palm-tree (mitakhah). Ibn Wahb said: This (mitakhah) means green palm fronds. Then the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم took some dust from the ground and threw it on his face.
