Hadith 11:149

'Isa ibn Yunus narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Ibrahim, from 'Alqama, who said: We went on a military expedition to the land of the Byzantines, and Hudhayfah was with us, and a man from Quraysh was in command over us. He drank wine, so we wanted to carry out the prescribed punishment (hadd) upon him. Hudhayfah said: "Will you carry out the prescribed punishment upon your commander while you have drawn near to your enemy, so they will become greedy for you?" He (the commander) said: "I will certainly drink it, even if it is forbidden, and I will certainly drink it in spite of whoever objects."

حدثنا عيسى بن يونس عن الأعمش عن إبراهيم عن علقمة قال غزونا أرض الروم ومعنا حذيفة وعلينا رجل من قريش فشرب الخمر فأردنا أن نحده فقال حذيفة تحدون أميركم وقد دنوتم من عدوكم فيطمعون فيكم فقال لأشربنها وإن كانت محرمة ولأشربن على رغم من رغم
