أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي وَأَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ السُّلَمِيُّ، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، أنبأ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا، مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ تَرَى فِي حَرِيسَةِ الْجَبَلِ؟ قَالَ: " هِيَ وَمِثْلُهَا وَالنَّكَالُ، وَلَيْسَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْمَاشِيَةِ قَطْعٌ إِلَّا فِيمَا آوَاهُ الْمُرَاحُ وَبَلَغَ ثَمَنَ الْمِجَنِّ، فَفِيهِ قَطْعُ الْيَدِ، وَمَا لَمْ يَبْلُغْ ثَمَنَ الْمِجَنِّ فَفِيهِ غَرَامَةُ مِثْلَيْهِ وَجَلَدَاتُ نَكَالٍ "، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَكَيْفَ تَرَى فِي الثَّمَرِ الْمُعَلَّقِ؟ قَالَ: " هُوَ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ وَالنَّكَالُ، وَلَيْسَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الثَّمَرِ الْمُعَلَّقِ قَطْعٌ إِلَّا مَا آوَاهُ الْجَرِينُ، فَمَا أُخِذَ مِنَ الْجَرِينِ فَبَلَغَ ثَمَنَ الْمِجَنِّ فَفِيهِ الْقَطْعُ، وَمَا لَمْ يَبْلُغْ ثَمَنَ الْمِجَنِّ فَفِيهِ غَرَامَةُ مِثْلَيْهِ وَجَلَدَاتُ نَكَالٍ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man from the tribe of Muzaynah came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what is your view concerning sheep stolen from the mountain pasture?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "[The thief owes] it and the like of it, and an exemplary punishment. There is no amputation for any livestock except what has been sheltered in the fold and reaches the price of a shield; for that the hand is cut off. For what does not reach the price of a shield, there is a fine of twice its value and lashes as an exemplary punishment." He said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what is your view concerning fruit hanging on the trees?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "[He owes] it and the like of it along with it, and an exemplary punishment. There is no amputation for any hanging fruit except what has been sheltered in the drying floor. Whatever is taken from the drying floor and reaches the price of a shield, for that there is amputation; for what does not reach the price of a shield, there is a fine of twice its value and lashes as an exemplary punishment."
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.
