Hadith 6631

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَرَقَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَاءَ بِهَا الَّذِينَ سَرَقَتْهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةَ سَرَقَتْنَا قَالَ قَوْمُهَا فَنَحْنُ نَفْدِيهَا بِخَمْسِ مِائَةِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ اقْطَعُوا يَدَهَا قَالَ فَقُطِعَتْ يَدُهَا الْيُمْنَى فَقَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ هَلْ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَنْتِ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ خَطِيئَتِكِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْكِ أُمُّكِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي سُورَةِ الْمَائِدَةِ {فَمَنْ تَابَ مِنْ بَعْدِ ظُلْمِهِ وَأَصْلَحَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِ} [المائدة 39] إِلَخِ الْآيَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a woman committed theft during the time of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Those from whom the theft had occurred brought her to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! This woman has stolen from us. The family members of the woman said: We will give five hundred dinars in exchange for this theft, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Cut off her hand. So her right hand was cut off. The woman said: O Messenger of Allah! Is there repentance for me? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, rather today you have become as pure from your mistake as the day your mother gave birth to you. Then Allah the Exalted revealed this verse of Surah Al-Ma'idah: Whoever repents after his wrongdoing and reforms, then surely Allah turns to him in mercy; indeed, Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
