حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ كُنَّا بِحِمْصَ فَقَرَأَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ سُورَةَ يُوسُفَ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَا هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ‏.‏ وَوَجَدَ مِنْهُ رِيحَ الْخَمْرِ فَقَالَ أَتَجْمَعُ أَنْ تُكَذِّبَ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَتَشْرَبَ الْخَمْرَ‏.‏ فَضَرَبَهُ الْحَدَّ‏.‏

Narrated 'Alqama:While we were in the city of Hims (in Syria), Ibn Mas`ud recited Surat Yusuf. A man said to him), "It was not revealed in this way." Then Ibn Mas`ud said, "I recited it in this way before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he confirmed my recitation by saying, 'Well done!' " Ibn Mas`ud detected the smell of wine from the man's mouth, so he said to him, "Aren't you ashamed of telling a lie about Allah's Book and (along with this) you drink alcoholic liquors too?" Then he lashed him according to the law

Alqama bataate hain: Jab hum Hims shehar (Syria) mein the, Ibn Masud ne Surah Yusuf padhi. Ek shaks ne unse kaha, 'Ye is tarah naazil nahi hui thi.' Isper Ibn Masud ne kaha, 'Maine ise isi tarah Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ke saamne padha tha aur unhone meri qiraat ki tasdeeq karte hue kaha, "Wah, khoob padha!"' Ibn Masud ne us shaks ke munh se sharaab ki badbu mehsoos ki, to unhone usse kaha, 'Kya tumhein sharm nahi aati ke tum Allah ki Kitaab ke baare mein jhoot bolte ho, aur (iske saath) sharaab bhi peete ho?' Phir unhone use shariyat ke mutaabik koda lagwaaya.
