English translation

4891. It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar, may Allāh be pleased with them both, that a Makhzūmī woman used to borrow things then deny that she had borrowed them, so the Prophet ﷺ ordered that her hand be cut off. (Sahīh)

Arabic text

4887 - أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: «أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مَخْزُومِيَّةً كَانَتْ تَسْتَعِيرُ الْمَتَاعَ فَتَجْحَدُهُ، فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَطْعِ يَدِهَا»

Commentary

‘Denying of having borrowed things’: We learn from this narration, that if somebody borrows things from people and then denies having taken them, and if there are witnesses to it, then the hand of such a person could be amputated, considering him a thief, because this is a kind of theft, rather its damage is comparatively greater to the society.
