وَرَوَاهُ مَسْعُودُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِيهِ: سُرِقَتْ قَطِيفَةٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَاضِي، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا سَرَقَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تِلْكَ الْقَطِيفَةَ مِنْ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْظَمْنَا ذَلِكَ، وَكَانَتِ ⦗٤٨٨⦘ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَجِئْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَلَّمْنَاهُ، وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي عَرْضِ الْفِدَاءِ وَالشَّفَاعَةِ وَالْقَطْعِ. فَأَمَّا رِوَايَةُ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ فِي الْعَارِيَةِ فَإِنَّمَا رَوَاهَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ، وَخَالَفَهُ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، وَرِوَايَتُهُمَا أَوْلَى بِالصِّحَّةِ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، وَأَمَّا رِوَايَةُ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ فَهِيَ مُنْفَرِدَةٌ، وَالْعَدَدُ أَوْلَى بِالْحِفْظِ مِنَ الْوَاحِدِ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مَخْزُومِيَّةً كَانَتْ تَسْتَعِيرُ الْمَتَاعَ وَتَجْحَدُهُ، فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَا فَقُطِعَتْ يَدُهَا: أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَمَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْمَعْنِيُّ، قَالَا: ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أنبأ مَعْمَرٌ، فَذَكَرَهُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَوْ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ غَنَجٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ الْعَالِمُ أَحْمَدُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: فَالْحَدِيثُ مُخْتَلَفٌ عَلَى نَافِعٍ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ، وَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ رِوَايَةَ مَنْ رَوَى الْعَارِيَةَ عَلَى تَعْرِيفِهَا، وَالْقَطْعُ كَانَ سَبَبَ سَرِقَتِهَا الَّتِي نُقِلَتْ فِي سَائِرِ الرِّوَايَاتِ فَلَا تَكُونُ مُخْتَلِفَةً، وَيَكُونُ تَقْدِيرُ الْخَبَرِ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مَخْزُومِيَّةً كَانَتْ تَسْتَعِيرُ الْمَتَاعَ وَتَجْحَدُهُ، كَمَا رَوَاهُ مَعْمَرٌ، سَرَقَتْ، كَمَا رَوَاهُ غَيْرُهُ، فَقُطِعَتْ، يَعْنِي بِالسَّرِقَةِ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Sayyiduna Mas'ud bin al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When a woman stole that velvet cloth from the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we regarded it as a grave matter; she was a woman of Quraysh. So we came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and spoke to him (in intercession). Then he mentioned the hadith about offering a ransom, the intercession and the cutting off (of her hand).
As for the narration of al-Layth from Yunus from al-Zuhri about the borrowing, only Abu Salih narrated it from al-Layth; Ibn Wahb and Ibn al-Mubarak differed from him, and their narration is more likely to be authentic than that of Abu Salih. As for the narration of Ma'mar from al-Zuhri, he is alone in it, and a group is more likely to have preserved it accurately than a single narrator. Ma'mar also narrated it from Ayyub, from Nafi', from Ibn Umar, that a Makhzumi woman used to borrow goods and deny it, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave orders concerning her and her hand was cut off. Abu Dawud said: Juwayriyah narrated it from Nafi', from Ibn Umar or from Safiyyah bint Abi Ubayd, and Ibn Ghanaj narrated it from Nafi', from Safiyyah bint Abi Ubayd.
So the chain of this hadith is disputed on the authority of Nafi'. It is possible that those who mentioned the borrowing did so to identify her, while the cutting was because of her theft that is reported in all the other narrations, so the narrations would not conflict. The meaning of the report would then be: a Makhzumi woman who used to borrow goods and deny it, as Ma'mar narrated, stole, as others narrated, so her hand was cut off, that is, for the theft. And Allah knows best.
