Bayhaqi 17287 — Reports on doubling the penalty

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، أنبأ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ، قَالَ: أَصَابَ غِلْمَانٌ لِحَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ بِالْعَالِيَةِ نَاقَةً لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ فَانْتَحَرُوهَا وَاعْتَرَفُوا بِهَا، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، وَقَالَ: هَؤُلَاءِ أَعْبُدُكَ قَدْ سَرَقُوا وَانْتَحَرُوا نَاقَةَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ وَاعْتَرَفُوا بِهَا، فَأَمَرَ كَثِيرَ بْنَ الصَّلْتِ أَنْ يَقْطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ بَعْدَمَا ذَهَبَ فَدَعَاهُ وَقَالَ: " لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَظُنُّ أَنَّكُمْ تُجِيعُونَهُمْ حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ أَتَى مَا حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَقَطَعْتُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ، وَلَكِنْ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ تَرَكْتُهُمْ لَأُغَرِّمَنَّكَ فِيهِمْ غَرَامَةً تُوجِعُكَ، فَقَالَ: كَمْ ثَمَنُهَا؟ لِلْمُزَنِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَمْنَعُهَا مِنْ أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ، قَالَ: فَأَعْطِهْ ثَمَانَمِائَةٍ ".
It is narrated from Yahya bin Abd al-Rahman bin Hatib that some slaves of Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) at al-Aliyah took a she-camel belonging to a man of the tribe of Muzaynah; they slaughtered it and confessed to it. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for Hatib and mentioned this to him, saying: These slaves of yours have stolen and slaughtered the she-camel of a man of Muzaynah and have confessed to it. He ordered Kathir bin al-Salt to cut off their hands; then, after he had gone, he sent for him and called him back, and said to Hatib: Were it not that I think you keep them hungry, to the point that one of them would do what Allah has forbidden, I would have cut off their hands. But by Allah, since I am letting them go, I will surely impose on you a fine on their account that will hurt you. Then he asked the man of Muzaynah: What was its price? He said: I used to refuse four hundred for it. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then give him eight hundred.
