كتاب السرقةBook: On the Explanation of Theft
بَابُ مَا لَا قَطْعَ فِيهِCases where there is no amputation
Hadith 1575
حَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ حَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ جَاءَ بِغُلَامٍ لَهُ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : اقْطَعْ يَدَ غُلَامِي هَذَا، فَإِنَّهُ سَرَقَ . فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : " مَاذَا سَرَقَ ؟ " فَقَالَ : سَرَقَ مِرْآةً لِامْرَأَتِي ثَمَنُهَا سِتُّونَ دِرْهَمًا . فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : " أَرْسِلْهُ، فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ قَطْعٌ، خَادِمُكُمْ سَرَقَ مَتَاعَكُمْ "
It is narrated from Saib bin Yazid that Abdullah bin Amr bin Hadrami brought his slave before Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "The hand of this slave of mine should be cut off; he has committed theft." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "What did he steal?" He replied: "He stole my wife's mirror, which was worth sixty dirhams." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Let him go, his hand will not be cut off; he was your servant and he stole your property."
