2102. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Eisa bin Maryam saw a man stealing and said: 'Did you steal?' He said: 'No, by the One besides Whom there is no other God.' 'Eisa said: 'I believe in Allāh, and I do not believe what my eyes see.'" (Sahih)
2102 - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ النَّضْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " رَأَى عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَجُلًا يَسْرِقُ، فَقَالَ: أَسَرَقْتَ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ، فَقَالَ عِيسَى: آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَكَذَّبْتُ بَصَرِي "

This is an example of trusting a believer's oath that 'Eisa ﷺ belied a thing seen by his own eyes by trusting an oath. That thing perhaps belonged to the same person who took it, but he took it secretly most certainly, maybe because of a certain reason.
