Bayhaqi 17215 — What counts as a place of safekeeping

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ، قِيلَ لَهُ: مَنْ لَمْ يُهَاجِرْ هَلَكَ، فَقَدِمَ صَفْوَانُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَنَامَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مُتَوَسِّدًا رِدَاءَهُ، فَجَاءَ سَارِقٌ فَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِهِ، فَأَخَذَ صَفْوَانُ السَّارِقَ فَجَاءَ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُقْطَعُ يَدُهُ، فَقَالَ صَفْوَانُ: إِنِّي لَمْ أُرِدْ هَذَا، هُوَ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَهَلَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ ".
Safwan bin Abdullah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that it was said to Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him): Whoever did not emigrate is ruined. So Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah and slept in the mosque using his cloak as a pillow. A thief came and took the cloak from under his head, and Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) caught the thief and brought him to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that his hand be cut. Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I did not intend this; rather, it is a charity to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not do so before you brought him to me?"
