Al-Nu'man was brought while he was intoxicated, and he caused great difficulty for the Prophet ﷺ . So the people in the house were ordered to strike him, and they struck him with sandals and twigs. And I was one of those who struck him.

أَخْبَرَنِي هِلَالُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى عَنْ وُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ

أُتِيَ بِالنُّعْمَانِ وَهُوَ سَكْرَانُ فَشَقَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَشَقَّةً شَدِيدَةً «فَأَمَرَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْبَيْتِ أَنْ يَضْرِبُوهُ فَضَرَبُوهُ بِالنِّعَالِ وَالْجَرِيدِ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ ضَرَبَهُ»
