Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30021 — A boy who steals or commits a hadd

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A boy who had stolen was brought to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and his having reached puberty was not evident. So he measured him, and he turned out to be short by one finger joint, so he let him go and did not cut off his hand.
