Hasan Basri narrates: A man said to Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him): My slave has run away. I have vowed that if I find him, I will surely cut off his hand. Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do not cut off his hand. Once, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood among us (to deliver a sermon), and he commanded us to give charity and forbade mutilation.
