كتاب السرقةBook: On the Explanation of Theft
بَابُ مَا لَا قَطْعَ فِيهِCases where there is no amputation
Hadith 1576
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ أُتِيَ بِإِنْسَانٍ قَدِ اخْتَلَسَ مَتَاعًا، فَأَرَادَ قَطْعَ يَدِهِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ : " لَيْسَ فِي الْخُلْسَةِ قَطْعٌ "
It is narrated from Ibn Shihab that a person came to Marwan bin Hakam who had snatched someone’s property. Marwan wanted to cut off his hand, then he sent a person to Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask about this issue. He said: The hand of a snatcher should not be cut off.
