English translation

4882. It was narrated from Şafwân bin Umayyah, that a man stole a Burdah of his, so he brought him before the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, who ordered that his hand be cut off. He said: "O Messenger of Allâh, I will let him have it." He said: "Abû Wahb! Why didn't you do that before you brought him to us?" And the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had (the man's) hand cut off. (Hasan)

Arabic text

4878 - أَخْبَرَنَا هِلَالُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَرَقَ بُرْدَةً لَهُ، فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَدْ تَجَاوَزْتُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَبَا وَهْبٍ أَفَلَا كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنَا بِهِ»، فَقَطَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Commentary

'No pardon': So to speak, after bringing the legal proceedings, the plaintiff cannot grant pardon, because it is a cognizable offence and a crime against society, which neither the government could forgive nor the plaintiff.
