Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 17
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أُتِيَ بِشَارِبٍ فَاسْتَقْرَأَهُ اَلْقُرْآنَ فَقَرَأَهُ فَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ فَأَلْقَاهُ مَعَ أَرْدِيَةِ اَلنَّاسِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ "خَلِّصْ رِدَاكَ" فَلَمْ يُخَلِّصْهُ فَحَدَّهُ".
In the narration of Al-Sakuni from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, it is reported: "Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام was presented with a man who had consumed alcohol. Imam عليه السلام asked him to recite the Qur'an, and the man recited it. Then Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام took his cloak and threw it among the cloaks of the people and said to him, 'Retrieve your cloak.' When he could not distinguish it, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام carried out the legal punishment on him."
