Hazrat Abd al-Rahman bin al-Qasim (may Allah have mercy on him) reports from his father (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man from Yemen, whose hand had been cut off and whose foot had also been cut off, came to Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and complained that the governor of Yemen had wronged him. He used to pray at night, and Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) would say: "By your father, your night is not the night of a thief." Then a necklace of Hazrat Asma bint Umays (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), went missing, and that man was going around with them saying: "O Allah, seize the one who stole by night from this righteous household." The necklace was found with a goldsmith, and it emerged that the amputee had brought it. He confessed, or witnesses testified against him, and Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the order and his left hand was cut off. Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah, his supplications against himself are more grievous in my view than his theft."
