Hadith 1589

أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ أَقْطَعَ الْيَدِ وَالرِّجْلِ، قَدِمَ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ أَنَّ عَامِلَ الْيَمَنِ ظَلَمَهُ، وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَيَقُولُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: وَأَبِيكَ مَا لَيْلُكَ بِلَيْلِ سَارِقٍ. ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمُ افْتَقَدُوا حُلِيًّا لِأَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ، امْرَأَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَطُوفُ مَعَهُمْ، وَيَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِمَنْ بَيَّتَ أَهْلَ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ الصَّالِحِ، فَوَجَدُوا الْحُلِيَّ عِنْدَ صَائِغٍ، وَأَنَّ الْأَقْطَعَ جَاءَ بِهِ فَاعْتَرَفَ الْأَقْطَعُ أَوْ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَمَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَقُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ الْيُسْرَى. وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: وَاللَّهِ لَدُعَاؤُهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَشَدُّ عِنْدِي مِنْ سَرِقَتِهِ. أَخْرَجَ السِّتَّةَ الْأَحَادِيثَ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْقَطْعِ فِي السَّرِقَةِ.
Abdur Rahman bin Qasim narrates from his father that a man from Yemen, whose one hand and one foot were cut off, came to Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) and complained that the ruler of Yemen had wronged him. He used to pray at night, so Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By your father's oath! Your night is not the night of thieves." Then the jewelry of Abu Bakr's (may Allah be pleased with him) wife, Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her), was stolen, so this man also searched with the people and said: "O Allah! Destroy the one who has stolen from such righteous householders." Then they found the necklace with a goldsmith, (who said that) this same man with the cut limbs had brought it. The Yemeni thief confessed or it was proven by testimony, so Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) cut off his (remaining) left hand as well, and said: "By Allah! The cunning curse he used to invoke upon himself seemed harsher to me than his theft."
