Anas bin Malik said: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم gave a beating with palm-branches and sandals for drinking wine and Abu Bakr gave lashes. When Umar came to power, he called upon people and said to them: The people are living now near watering placing, and, according to Musaddad’s version, “near villages and watering places, so what do you say about the punishment for (drinking) wine? Abdur-Rahman bin Awf said: We think that you should prescribe the lightest punishment. So he fixed eight lashes for it. Abu Dawud said: It has also been transmitted by Ibn Al 'Arubah from Qatadah from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to the effect that he gave a beating forty times with palm branches and sandals. And Shubah narrated it from Qatadah on the authority of Anas from Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. This version has: He gave a beating with two palm-branches about forty times.
