Sahih Muslim 1706e — Forty Strikes for Wine

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1706e

This narration from Anas says that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم used to strike forty times with shoes and palm branches in the case of drinking wine. It then says the rest of the hadith is the same, but there is no mention of pastures and towns. The core point is the number forty and the tools named in the report. This version is useful for people searching for forty lashes drinking wine hadith because it states the forty clearly. It also helps compare wording between reports: one version includes the note about people going near pastures and towns, while this one does not. The explanation should stay with that difference and not add outside details.
