Bayhaqi 17230 — Reports on one who steals a young slave from a place

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: يُقْطَعُ، وَرَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: حُرًّا كَانَ أَوْ عَبْدًا، وَخَالَفَهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ فِي الْحُرِّ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "His hand is to be cut."
And (Imam Sufyan) al-Thawri (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it from Isma'il bin Muslim, from Imam al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him), except that he said: "Whether he is free or a slave." And al-Thawri differed from him regarding the free man.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، أنبأ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ الْقَاضِي، ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْفُقَهَاءِ، مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: " مَنْ سَرَقَ عَبْدًا صَغِيرًا، أَوْ أَعْجَمِيًّا لَا حِيلَةَ لَهُ، قُطِعَ " وَرُوِي عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَرَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَطْعَ، قَالَ: هَؤُلَاءِ خَلَّابُونَ قَالَ أَصْحَابُنَا: مَعْنَاهُ فِي الْعَبْدِ إِذَا كَانَ عَاقِلًا، فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَطَعَ رَجُلًا فِي غُلَامٍ سُرِقَ.
Ibn Abi al-Zinad narrates from his father, from the jurists of the people of Madinah, that whoever steals a small slave, or a non-Arab who has no means (of protecting himself), his hand is to be cut. And it is narrated from Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he did not hold that the hand be cut for them; he said: These are khallabun (deceivers).
Our scholars said: Its meaning concerns the slave when he is of sound mind, for it is narrated from Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he cut the hand of a man for a boy who was stolen.
