2588. It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Tha'labah Al-Ansārī, from his father, that 'Amr bin Samurah bin Habib bin 'Abd Shams came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allāh! I stole a camel belonging to Banu so-and-so; purify me!" The Prophet ﷺ sent word to them and they said: " (Yes), we have lost a camel of ours." So the Prophet ﷺ ordered that his hand be cut off. Tha'labah said: "I was looking at him when his hand fell and he said (to it): 'Praise is to Allāh Who has purified me of you; you wanted to cause my whole body to enter Hell.'" (Da'if)

2588 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي سَرَقْتُ جَمَلًا لِبَنِي فُلَانٍ، فَطَهِّرْنِي، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا: إِنَّا افْتَقَدْنَا جَمَلًا لَنَا، «فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ» قَالَ ثَعْلَبَةُ: " أَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ حِينَ وَقَعَتْ يَدُهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي طَهَّرَنِي مِنْكِ أَرَدْتِ أَنْ تُدْخِلِي جَسَدِي النَّارَ "
