(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ قَرْمٍ ، عَنْ
سِمَاك ، عَنْ
جُعَيْد ابْنِ أُخْتِ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ ، عَنْ
صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى خَمِيصَةٍ لِي ، فَسُرِقَتْ فَأَخَذْنَا السَّارِقَ ، فَرَفَعْنَاهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَفِي خَمِيصَةٍ ثَمَنُ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْهَمًا ؟ ! أَنَا أَهَبُهَا لَهُ أَوْ أَبِيعُهَا لَهُ ، قَالَ : " فَهَلَّا كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ ؟ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Safwan bin Umayyah that I was sleeping in the Prophet's Mosque when a thief came and took the cloth from under my head and walked away. I chased him, caught him, and presented him before the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: This person has stolen my cloth. The Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered his hand to be cut off. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Will his hand be cut off for a sheet worth thirty dirhams? I give it to him as a gift. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Why did you not give it in charity before bringing him to me?
