أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ هَاشِمٍ الْجَنْبِيُّ أَبُو مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا : أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ تَسْتَعِيرُ الْحُلِيَّ لِلنَّاسِ ، ثُمَّ تُمْسِكُهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لِتَتُبْ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ , وَتَرُدَّ مَا تَأْخُذُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " قُمْ يَا بِلَالُ , فَخُذْ بِيَدِهَا فَاقْطَعْهَا " .

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
"Return it" — In this crime, there is allowance that if the offender later returns the item, he may be pardoned. However, in the case of theft, there is no such allowance; rather, once the crime is established, under no circumstance can pardon be granted, and the hand will be cut.
