Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30489 — A man who steals fruit or food

It is narrated from Shu'ayb that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The hand is not to be cut off in any case for an animal until it has reached the place where animals spend the night, nor is the hand to be cut off for any theft of fruit until it has reached the place where dates are dried.
