Muhammad ibn Minhal al-Darir narrated to me, Yazid ibn Zuray' narrated to us, Sufyan al-Thawri narrated to us, from Abu Hasin, from Umayr ibn Sa'id, from 'Ali, who said: "I never imposed a prescribed punishment (hadd) upon anyone who died from it and I felt remorse over it, except in the case of the wine-drinker, for if he died, I would pay his blood money (diyah), because the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) did not establish it as a fixed punishment."
