حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ الْهَيَّاجِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ ، أَنَّ عِمْرَانَ أَبَقَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ ، فَجَعَلَ لِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ لَئِنْ قَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ لَيَقْطَعَنَّ يَدَهُ ، فَأَرْسَلَنِي لِأَسْأَلَ لَهُ ، فَأَتَيْتُ سَمُرَةَ بْنَ جُنْدُبٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَحُثُّنَا عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ وَيَنْهَانَا عَنِ الْمُثْلَةِ ، فَأَتَيْتُ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَحُثُّنَا عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ وَيَنْهَانَا عَنِ الْمُثْلَةِ .
Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub: Al-Hayyaj ibn Imran ibn Husayn reported that a slave of Imran ran away. He took a vow to Allah that if he overpowers him, he will cut off his head. He then sent me (to Samurah ibn Jundub) to ask him about this question for him. I came to Samurah ibn Jundub and asked him. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to exhort us to give alms (sadaqah) and forbid us to mutilate (a slain). I then came to Imran ibn Husayn and asked him. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to exhort us to give alms (sadaqah) and forbid us to mutilate (a slain).
Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
It is impermissible to mutilate the body parts of a murdered person or to disfigure his appearance after killing him.
Similarly, this act is also impermissible before the killing.
Except in the case where there is a form of legal retribution (qisas).
As was done with the people of the tribes of ‘Ukl and ‘Uraynah.
