وَرَأَى عُمَرُ وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ وَمُعَاذٌ شُرْبَ الطِّلاَءِ عَلَى الثُّلُثِ. وَشَرِبَ الْبَرَاءُ وَأَبُو جُحَيْفَةَ عَلَى النِّصْفِ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ اشْرَبِ الْعَصِيرَ مَا دَامَ طَرِيًّا. وَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَجَدْتُ مِنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ رِيحَ شَرَابٍ، وَأَنَا سَائِلٌ عَنْهُ، فَإِنْ كَانَ يُسْكِرُ جَلَدْتُهُ.
