Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30059 — A man who confesses to theft: how

Abd al-Rahman said: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man came and said: O Commander of the Faithful! I have stolen. He rebuked him severely. He came back a second time and said: I have stolen. At this Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: You have indeed testified against yourself twice. The narrator said: Then he gave the order concerning him, and his hand was cut off. I saw his hand hanging, on his neck.
