And with the same chain of narration (it is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered the (right) hand of the thief to be cut off who had stolen a shield worth three dirhams. Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "Mujann" refers to a shield made of leather or iron.
