Bayhaqi 17218 — What counts as a place of safekeeping

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ السَّمَّاكِ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْحُنَيْنِيُّ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ حَمَّادِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، ثنا أَسْبَاطٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ ابْنِ أُخْتِ صَفْوَانَ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى خَمِيصَةٍ لِي ثَمَنُ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْهَمًا، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَاخْتَلَسَهَا مِنِّي، فَأَخَذَ الرَّجُلَ فَأَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ لِيُقْطَعَ، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ: أَتَقْطَعُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْهَمًا، أَنَا أَبِيعُهُ وَأُنْسِئُهُ ثَمَنَهَا، قَالَ: " أَلَا كَانَ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ " هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَمَّادٍ.
Sayyiduna Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was sleeping in the mosque, and I had a shirt worth thirty dirhams. A man came and snatched that shirt from me. The man was caught, and when he was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that his hand be cut. Sayyiduna Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Will you cut his hand for thirty dirhams? I will sell it to him and defer its price for him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not settle the matter before you brought him to me?"
