4888. It was narrated from Šafwân bin Umayyah that a Khamīṣah was stolen from beneath his head while he slept in the Masjid of the Prophet ﷺ. He caught the thief and brought him to the Prophet ﷺ, who ordered that his hand be cut off. Šafwân said: "Are you going to cut off his hand?" He said: "Why didn't you let him go before you brought him to me?" (Hasan)
