The foot that is cut: those who said the heel is left

It is narrated from al-Nu'man bin Murrah al-Zuraqi that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) cut off the sole of a thief's foot.

It is narrated from Umm Razin that she said: Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Are these rulers of ours unable to cut off as this Bedouin, Najdah, has cut off? That is, he cut off and made no mistake at all: he cut off the foot and left its heel.

Abd al-Malik said that Ata was asked about amputation. He said: "As for the foot, its heel is to be left."

Al-Ala bin Abd al-Karim said that Abu Ja'far said: "The foot is to be cut off at the joint in the middle of the foot."

The statement of Abu Ja'far is also reported through this chain.

Ikrimah said that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) cut off the hand at the joint, and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) cut off the foot. Amr bin Dinar pointed to half of the foot.

And Amr pointed to half of it.
