Tha'labah al-Shami (may Allah have mercy on him), whom Tariq had appointed as his deputy over Madinah, (narrates that) a thief was brought to him; he scolded him and he confessed to the theft. Then he sent to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) to ask him about that, and he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do not cut his hand until he takes the stolen goods out.
