It has been reported by Kulaini on the authority of Jabir that once the poet Najjashi was brought to Hazrat Ali (A) with the accusation that he was found drunk during the holy month of Ramazan.
The accusation when proved, Hazrat Ali (A) ordered for whipping the poet by eighty lashes which was carried out.
The next morning the poet was ordered for another twenty lashes. When Najjashi asked Hazrat Ali (A) the cause of the extra twenty lashes as the order of the Holy Quran in such cases was only eighty, the holy Imam Hazrat Ali (A) replied:“Twenty for disregarding the respect of the Holy month of Ramazan.” (Qaza, p. 140).
