حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ قَرْمٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ ابْنِ أُخْتِ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى خَمِيصَةٍ لِي، فَسُرِقَتْ فَأَخَذْنَا السَّارِقَ، فَرَفَعْنَاهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ، ، بِقَطْعِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَفِي خَمِيصَةٍ ثَمَنُ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْهَمًا أَنَا أَهَبُهَا لَهُ، أَوْ أَبِيعُهَا لَهُ، قَالَ: " فَهَلَّا كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Safwan bin Umayyah that I was sleeping in the Prophet's Mosque when a thief came and took the cloth from under my head and walked away. I chased him, caught him, and presented him before the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: This person has stolen my cloth. The Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered his hand to be cut off. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Will his hand be cut off for a sheet worth thirty dirhams? I give it to him as a gift. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Why did you not give it in charity before bringing him to me?
