Mas'ud bin Ajma'ah's sister says that their father submitted to the Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding the Makhzumi woman who had committed theft, that they were prepared to offer forty uqiyah as ransom for her. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said that it is better for her to be purified. Thus, on the order of the Prophet (peace be upon him), her hand was cut off. That woman belonged to either Banu Abd al-Ashhal or Banu Asad.
