It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a thief was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Kill him." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah, he has only stolen." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Cut off his (limb)." So his limb was cut off.
Then he was brought a second time, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Kill him." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah, he has only stolen." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Cut off his limb."
Then he was brought a third time, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Kill him." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah, he has only stolen." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Cut off his limb."
Then he was brought a fourth time, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Kill him." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah, he has only stolen." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Cut off his limb."
Then he was brought a fifth time, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Kill him."
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "So we took him to the enclosure of the livestock, then we attacked him, and he lay down on his back. Then we pelted him with stones and killed him, then we threw him into a well and threw stones over him."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Muhammad bin al-Munkadir (may Allah have mercy on him) except Mus'ab (may Allah have mercy on him)."
