Bayhaqi 17163 — What requires amputation

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، قَالَ: أُتِيتُ بِنَبَطِيٍّ قَدْ سَرَقَ، فَبَعَثَتْ إِلِيَّ عَمْرَةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: أَيْ بُنِيَّ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَلَغَ رُبْعَ دِينَارٍ فَلَا تَقْطَعْهُ، فَإِنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا حَدَّثَتْنِي، أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَا يُقْطَعُ فِي دُونِ رُبْعِ دِينَارٍ "، قَالَ: فَنَظَرَ فَإِذَا سَرِقَتُهُ بَلَغَتْ دِرْهَمَيْنِ، قَالَ: فَضَرَبْتُهُ وَغَرَّمْتُهُ وَخَلَّيْتُ سَبِيلَهُ.
Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A Nabataean who had committed theft was brought to me, and Amrah bint Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on her) sent me this message: O my son! If his theft does not reach the value of a quarter of a dinar, do not cut off his hand, for Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated to me that she heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The hand is not to be cut off for a value of less than a quarter of a dinar." He said: His theft was equal in value to two dirhams, so I beat him, fined him and let him go.
Muhammad bin Ishaq is a mudallis and did not state that he heard it directly, but this hadith has also passed before as marfu' (attributed to the Prophet).
