A thief whose hand is cut: is he pursued for the stolen goods?

Al-Shaybani said: It is reported from al-Sha'bi concerning a person who stole and whose hand was cut off. He said: Nothing is due from that thief except what is found with him.

And Hammad said: He is to be pursued for it.

Al-Sha'bi and Ibn Sirin both said: When the thief's hand has been cut off, nothing is due from him except the very thing that is found with him.

Ash'ath reported from Ibn Sirin, and both of them (al-Sha'bi and Ibn Sirin) said: When his hand has been cut off, nothing is due from him unless something is found, the very thing itself.

Al-Shaybani said that Imam al-Sha'bi said concerning the thief: If the stolen thing is found with him as it is, it is to be taken from him and his hand is to be cut off; and if he has used it up, his hand is to be cut off and there is no liability of any kind on him.

The aforementioned statement is reported in the same words from Ibrahim as well.

Something similar is reported from Ibn Sirin.

Ibn Jurayj said that Ata said: The thief shall not be made liable after his right hand has been cut off, except for the stolen property itself that was found with him; it shall be taken from him.

Amr said that al-Hasan al-Basri used to hold the thief liable after his hand had been cut off.

Matar al-Warraq said: Sa'id bin Jubayr was asked about a man who stole something and had his hand cut off: will he also be made responsible for paying back the stolen property? He said: The cutting off of his hand is sufficient as liability.
