4408. It was narrated that Junādah bin Abī Umayyah said: "We were with Busr bin Arṭāh at sea, and a thief called Miṣḍar was brought, having stolen a long necked she-camel. He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "Hands are not to be cut off when traveling." Were it not for that, I would have cut off his hand.'" (Saḥih)
4408 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ الْقِتْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ شِيَيْمِ بْنِ بَيْتَانَ، وَيَزِيدَ بْنِ صُبْحٍ الْأَصْبَحِيِّ، عَنْ جُنَادَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ بُسْرِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ فِي الْبَحْرِ، فَأُتِيَ بِسَارِقٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ: مِصْدَرٌ، قَدْ سَرَقَ بُخْتِيَّةً، فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا تُقْطَعُ الْأَيْدِي فِي السَّفَرِ، وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ لَقَطَعْتُهُ»
