Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Mujahid narrates that Safwan bin Umayyah was among the Tulaqa. He came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), made his mount sit down, and placed his cloak on it. Then he went aside to relieve himself. Meanwhile, a man came and stole his cloak. He caught him and brought him to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the man's hand be cut off. Safwan said, "O Messenger of Allah! Are you cutting off his hand for (stealing) a cloak? I gift this cloak to him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why did you not gift it to him before bringing him to me?"
