English translation

4881. It was narrated from Abū Umayyah Al-Makhzūmī that a thief who confessed to a crime but with whom no stolen goods had been found, was brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to him: "I do not think that you stole anything." He said: "Yes I did." He said: "Take him and cut off his hand, then bring him here." So they cut off his hand then they brought him to him. He said to him: "Say: I seek the forgiveness of Allāh and I repent to Him." He said: "I seek the forgiveness of Allāh and I repent to Him." He said: "O Allāh, accept his repentance." (Da'if)

٤٨٧٧ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ ‌حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ‌إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الْمُنْذِرِ مَوْلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ الْمَخْزُومِيِّ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِلِصٍّ اعْتَرَفَ اعْتِرَافًا وَلَمْ يُوجَدْ مَعَهُ مَتَاعٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا إِخَالُكَ سَرَقْتَ! قَالَ: بَلَى. قَالَ: اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَاقْطَعُوهُ ثُمَّ جِيئُوا بِهِ. فَقَطَعُوهُ ثُمَّ جَاؤُوا بِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: قُلْ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ! فَقَالَ: أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ. قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ تُبْ عَلَيْهِ».
