Bayhaqi 17268 — A thief who steals again a second, third and fourth

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ، وَأَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَا: أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ الْكَرَابِيسِيُّ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، ثنا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَائِذٍ، قَالَ: " أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِرَجُلٍ أَقْطَعَ الْيَدِ وَالرِّجْلِ قَدْ سَرَقَ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ رِجْلُهُ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّمَا قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {إِنَّمَا جَزَاءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ} [المائدة: ٣٣] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ، فَقَدْ قُطِعَتْ يَدُ هَذَا وَرِجْلُهُ، فَلَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَقْطَعَ رِجْلَهُ فَتَدَعَهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ قَائِمَةٌ يَمْشِي عَلَيْهَا، إِمَّا أَنْ تُعَزِّرَهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَسْتَوْدِعَهُ السِّجْنَ، قَالَ: فَاسْتَوْدَعَهُ السِّجْنَ " ⦗٤٧٧⦘ الرِّوَايَةُ الْأُولَى عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَوْلَى أَنْ تَكُونَ صَحِيحَةً، وَكَيْفَ تَصِحُّ هَذِهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَقَدْ أَنْكَرَ فِي الرِّوَايَةِ الْأُولَى قَطْعَ الرِّجْلِ بَعْدَ الْيَدِ وَالرِّجْلِ وَأَشَارَ بِالْيَدِ؟ وَرِوَايَةُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَوْصُولَةٌ تَشْهَدُ لِلرِّوَايَةِ الْأُولَى بِالصِّحَّةِ وَكَذَلِكَ رِوَايَةُ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ فِيهَا مَا فِي رِوَايَةِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَأَمَّا مَا رُوِيَ فِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ.
Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin A'idh (may Allah have mercy on him) says: A man was brought to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) whose hand and foot had been cut off. He had stolen. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered that his foot be cut off, but Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has said: "The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 33]. This man's hand and foot have already been cut off; it is not fitting that his foot be cut off so that he is left unable to stand or walk. Either give him a discretionary punishment (ta'zir) or confine him in prison. The narrator said: So he confined him in prison.
The first narration from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) is more likely to be authentic. How could this one be authentic from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) when, in the first narration, he rejected cutting off the foot after the hand and foot and pointed to the hand? And the connected narration of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) testifies to the authenticity of the first narration.
