حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِهِ ، زَادَ وَلَا عَلَى الْمُخْتَلِسِ قَطْعٌ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : هَذَانِ الْحَدِيثَانِ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُمَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ مِنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : إِنَّمَا سَمِعَهُمَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ مَنْ يَاسِينَ الزَّيَّاتِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَقَدْ رَوَاهُمَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Jabir through a different chain of narrators. This version adds: Cutting of the hand is not be inflicted on one who snatches something. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Juraij did not hear these two traditions from Abu al-Zubair, I have been informed by Ahmad. bin Hanbal saving: Ibn Juraij heard them from Yasin al-Zayyat. Aby Dawud said: Al-Mughirah bin Muslim has transmitted it from Abu al-Zubair from Jabir From the Prophet ﷺ.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
A "litra" is one who seizes wealth by force or as a weapon, and a "uchakka" is one who snatches someone’s wealth with great speed and cunning. A "kha’in" is one who denies possession of wealth that was entrusted to him for safekeeping.
The definition of theft (sariqah) does not apply to them.
A thief (sariq) is one who secretly and stealthily takes someone else’s wealth from a specifically protected place.
Undoubtedly, other punishments are prescribed for the aforementioned crimes, but the hand is not cut.
