(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ كُنْتُ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى خَمِيصَةٍ لِي فَسُرِقَتْ فَأَخَذْنَا السَّارِقَ فَرَفَعْنَاهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفِي خَمِيصَةٍ ثَمَنُهَا ثَلَاثُونَ دِرْهَمًا أَنَا أَهَبُهَا لَهُ أَوْ أَبِيعُهَا لَهُ قَالَ فَهَلَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ
(Second chain) Sayyiduna Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was sleeping in the mosque on my cloak, someone stole it, and we caught the thief and brought him to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When you (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his hand to be cut off, I said: O Messenger of Allah! Will his hand be cut off in exchange for this cloak, whose price is only thirty dirhams? I gift this cloak to this man or sell it to him. You (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not do so before bringing him to me?
