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)

Arabic text

4884 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَذَكَرَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، أَنَّهُ سُرِقَتْ خَمِيصَتُهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِهِ، وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ فِي مَسْجِدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخَذَ اللِّصَّ، فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ، فَقَالَ صَفْوَانُ: أَتَقْطَعُهُ؟ قَالَ: «فَهَلَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ تَرَكْتَهُ»
