حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ مُرَقَّعٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا، سَرَقَ بُرْدَهُ (٣) فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ " فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَدْ تَجَاوَزْتُ (٤) عَنْهُ قَالَ: " فَلَوْلَا كَانَ هَذَا (٥) قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ يَا أَبَا وَهْبٍ؟ " فَقَطَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (٦)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a thief came and took a cloth from under my head and went away. I chased him, caught him, and presented him before the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "This person has stolen my cloth." The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered his hand to be cut off. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! (That was not my intention, this cloth is charity for him) I forgive him." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why did you not forgive him before bringing him to me?" Then the Prophet (ﷺ) had his hand cut off.
