Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30573 — Snatching: does it incur cutting off

Qatadah said: "A slave boy snatched a collar, and the matter was brought before Adi bin Artah. He asked al-Hasan al-Basri about it, and he said: 'The punishment of cutting off the hand does not apply to him.' He also asked Iyas bin Mu'awiyah about it, and he ordered that his hand be cut off. When the two of them differed, he wrote about it to Umar bin Abd al-Aziz. Umar wrote back to him: 'The Arabs used to call this daytime theft. The punishment of cutting off the hand does not apply to him, but cause pain to his back and keep him in long imprisonment.'"
