Punishment for Praying More Than Four Rak'ahs in Fajr Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the punishment for praying more than four rak'ahs in Fajr prayer, and how it is based on the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

It was narrated from Hudain bin al-Mundhir bin al-Harith bin Wa’lah that al-Waleed bin 'Uqbah led the people in Fajr prayer and he prayed four rak'ahs, Then he turned to them and said: Shall I give you more?! The matter was referred to 'Uthman (رضي الله عنه) , who ordered that he be flogged'.Ali said to al-Hasan bin 'Ali Get up, O Hasan, and flog him. He said: What does that have to do with you? 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: Rather you are incapable and weak; get up, O Abdullah bin Jafar and flog him. So 'Abdullah bin Ja'far got up and flogged him, and 'Ali kept count. When he reached forty, he said to him; Stop. Then he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave forty lashes for drinking alcohol, Abu Bakr gave forty lashes, as did ʼUmar at the beginning of his caliphate, Then 'Umar completed it, making it eighty. And all of it is Sunnah.
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الدَّانَاجِ، عَنْ حُضَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ وَعْلَةَ، أَنَّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عُقْبَةَ، صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ الصُّبْحَ أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ أَزِيدُكُمْ فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُجْلَدَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قُمْ يَا حَسَنُ فَاجْلِدْهُ قَالَ وَفِيمَ أَنْتَ وَذَاكَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ بَلْ عَجَزْتَ وَوَهَنْتَ قُمْ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ فَاجْلِدْهُ فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ فَجَلَدَهُ وَعَلِيٌّ يَعُدُّ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ قَالَ لَهُ أَمْسِكْ ثُمَّ قَالَ ضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْخَمْرِ أَرْبَعِينَ وَضَرَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ وَعُمَرُ صَدْرًا مِنْ خِلَافَتِهِ ثُمَّ أَتَمَّهَا عُمَرُ ثَمَانِينَ وَكُلٌّ سُنَّةٌ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the punishment for praying more than four rak'ahs in Fajr prayer according to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It was narrated from Hudain bin al-Mundhir that Al Waleed led people in Fajr prayer and prayed four rak’ahs but then asked if he should give them more which was referred to Uthman who ordered him to be flogged as a punishment for his action. Ali then asked Hasan to flog him but he refused so Abdullah Ibn Jafar got up and flogged him while Ali kept count until forty lashes were given as this is what Prophet Muhammad gave as a punishment for drinking alcohol and this was also done by Abu Bakr and Umar during their caliphate period making it eighty lashes altogether which is now considered part of the Sunnah or teachings of Islam today when it comes to punishments such as these ones related to prayers or drinking alcohol etc..
