Bayhaqi 17265 — A thief who steals again a second, third and fourth

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خَمِيرَوَيْهِ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَمِيرَوَيْهِ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَرَقَ عَلَى عَهْدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مَقْطُوعَةٌ يَدُهُ وَرِجْلُهُ، فَأَرَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَقْطَعُ رِجْلَهُ وَيَدَعُ يَدَهُ يَسْتَطْيبُ بِهَا وَيَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا وَيَنْتَفِعُ بِهَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " لَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَقْطَعَنَّ يَدَهُ الْأُخْرَى "، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَقُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ.
Safiyyah bint Abi Ubayd (may Allah have mercy on her) says that a man stole in the time of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him); his hand had been cut off and his foot had also been cut off before. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) intended that his foot be cut off and his hand be left, so that he could use it to clean and purify himself and make use of it. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: No, by the One in whose Hand is my soul, you shall surely cut off his other hand. So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the order, and his other hand was cut off as well.
