History of al-Mas'udi

al-Walid's rule in Kufah lasted five years during which he fought the pagans in the region of Azerbaijan. But as he was not a true believer, in that critical situation he committed an act, which deserved religious punishment. The leaders came together to see to the execution of punishment in his case, but Hudhayfah opposed this, saying that as a commander of the Islamic army this would not be right, and so they desisted from such an action.(153)
I do not know why al-Walid deserved the punishment, whether it was because of drinking wine or any other offense. But it is certain that he constantly drank wine, and went so far in it that according to all the historians, the related punishment was eventually carried out in his case.

One morning he came drunken to the mosque to offer prayer along with the people and instead of offering two units, he performed four. During the prayer he sang out this phrase: "The heart is mortgaged to the ringlets of Rubab, while no trace remains of the youthfulness of either of them." When the prayer was over, he turned to the congregation and said: "Do you wish me to add some more units to the) morning prayer?" And at the same time he vomited what he had ten.(154)
al-Mas'udi writes in the same connection: al-Walid spent the whole night drinking wine with his companions, minstrels and musicians.
