English translation

4893. It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar, may Allāh be pleased with them both, that a woman used, to borrow jewelry from people then keep it. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Let this woman repent to Allāh and His Messenger and give back to people what she has taken." Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Get up, O Bilāl, take her hand and cut it off." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

4889 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ هَاشِمٍ الْجَنْبِيُّ أَبُو مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ تَسْتَعِيرُ الْحُلِيَّ لِلنَّاسِ، ثُمَّ تُمْسِكُهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لِتَتُبْ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَتَرُدَّ مَا تَأْخُذُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قُمْ يَا بِلَالُ فَخُذْ بِيَدِهَا فَاقْطَعْهَا»

Commentary

'Give back': There is room in such a crime that if the offender later on returns what he had taken, he would be pardoned.
