Bayhaqi 17234 — Reports on a runaway slave who steals

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدًا لِابْنِ عُمَرَ سَرَقَ وَهُوَ آبِقٌ، فَأَرْسَلَ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ، وَهُوَ أَمِيرُ الْمَدِينَةِ، لِيَقْطَعَ يَدَهُ، فَأَبَى سَعِيدٌ أَنْ يَقْطَعَ يَدَهُ، وَقَالَ: لَا تُقْطَعُ يَدُ الْآبِقِ إِذَا سَرَقَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: " فِي أِيِّ كِتَابِ اللهِ وَجَدْتَ هَذَا؟ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَقُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ ".
It is narrated from Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) that a runaway slave of Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) stole. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) sent him to Sa'id bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him), who was the governor of Madinah, (sending him to him) so that he would cut his hand. Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) refused to cut his hand and said: The hand of a runaway slave is not cut when he steals. Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to him: In which part of the Book of Allah Almighty did you find this? Then Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) ordered that his hand be cut.
