Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39097 — Eating from the sacrificial animal

Mujahid said: Sayyiduna Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was one of the Tulaqa'. He came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), made his mount kneel and placed his cloak on it, then went aside to relieve himself. A man came and stole his cloak. He caught him and brought him to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (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 over a cloak? I give this cloak to him as a gift." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not give it to him as a gift before bringing him to me?"
