Hadith 533

عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ ، أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ قِيلَ لَهُ : إِنَّهُ مَنْ لَمْ يُهَاجِرْ هَلَكَ ، فَقَدِمَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَنَامَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَتَوَسَّدَ رِدَاءَهُ ، فَجَاءَ سَارِقٌ فَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ ، فَأَخَذَ صَفْوَانُ السَّارِقَ فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُقْطَعَ يَدُهُ ، فَقَالَ صَفْوَانُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي لَمْ أُرِدْ هَذَا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " فَهَلا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) that it was said to Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him): Whoever did not migrate has perished. So Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah and stayed in the mosque, using his cloak as a pillow. A thief came and stole the cloak, so Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) caught the thief and brought him to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered that his hand be cut off. Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! I did not intend for his hand to be cut off; this cloak is charity for him." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Why did you not do this before bringing the thief to me?"
