Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5155 — he related: The first man among the Muslims
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى الْجَابِرِ، عَنْ أَبِي مَاجِدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ: إِنَّ أَوَّلَ رَجُلٍ قُطِعَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ - أَوْ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ - رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، أُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقِيلَ: سَرَقَ، فَقَالَ: «اذْهَبُوا بِصَاحِبِكُمْ فَاقْطَعُوهُ»، فَكَأَنَّمَا أُسْفِيَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَمَادًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ جُلَسَائِهِ: كَأَنَّ هَذَا قَدْ شَقَّ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «وَمَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَكُونُوا أَعْوَانًا لِلشَّيْطَانِ أَوْ لِإِبْلِيسَ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِوَالِي أَمْرٍ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِحَدٍّ إِلَّا أَقَامَهُ، وَاللَّهُ عَفْوٌ يُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ»: {وَلْيَعْفُوا وَلْيَصْفَحُوا أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ} [النور: 22]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he related: "The first man among the Muslims whose hand was cut off was a man from the Ansar. He was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and it was said that he had stolen. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take this companion of yours away and cut off his hand." (After giving this order,) the colour of the blessed face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) changed from the intensity of grief and sorrow as though ashes had been thrown on it. One of those sitting with him (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Messenger of Allah, it seems that this matter has weighed heavily upon you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And you should not be helpers of Satan, or of Iblis. Indeed, it is not proper for any person in authority (a ruler) that a case of a hadd (prescribed punishment) is brought to him and he does not carry it out; and Allah Almighty Himself is Pardoning and loves pardon." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: 'And let them pardon and overlook. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you?'"
