English translation

2597. It was narrated from Ishâq bin Abu Talhah: "I heard Abu Mundhir, the freed slave of Abu Dharr, say that Abu Umayyah narrated to him, that a thief was brought to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and he admitted his crime, although the stolen goods were not found with him. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'I do not think that you stole them.' He said: 'Yes I did.' Then he said (again): 'I do not think that you stole them,' and he said: 'Yes I did.' Then he ordered that his hand be cut off. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Say: I seek Allâh's forgiveness and I repent to Him.' So he (the thief) said: 'I seek Allâh's forgiveness and I repent to Him' He (the Prophet ﷺ) said twice: 'O Allâh! Accept his repentance.'" (Da'if)

2597 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ، مَوْلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ أَبَا أُمَيَّةَ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِلِصٍّ فَاعْتَرَفَ اعْتِرَافًا، وَلَمْ يُوجَدْ مَعَهُ الْمَتَاعُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا إِخَالُكَ سَرَقْتَ» قَالَ: بَلَى. ثُمَّ قَالَ: «مَا إِخَالُكَ سَرَقْتَ» قَالَ: بَلَى. فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُطِعَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " قُلْ: أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ " قَالَ: أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ. قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ تُبْ عَلَيْهِ» مَرَّتَيْنِ
