في (الرجل) يؤتى به (فيقال): أسرقت؟ قتل: لاRegarding the Thief Who Is Brought and Asked: Did You Steal? Say: No
Hadith 30484
٣٠٤٨٤ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا محمد بن بكر عن ابن جريج عن عكرمة ابن خالد قال: أتى عمر بسارق قد اعترف، فقال عمر: (إني) (١) لأرى يد رجل ما هي بيد سارق، قال الرجل: واللَّه ما أنا بسارق، فأرسله عمر ولم يقطعه (٢).
Hazrat Ikrimah bin Khalid narrates that a thief was brought to Hazrat Umar who had confessed to theft. Upon this, Hazrat Umar said: Surely, in my opinion, this man's hand is not the hand of a thief. The man said: By Allah, I am not a thief. So Hazrat Umar let him go and did not cut off his hand.
