English translation

4986. It was narrated that 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Muḥairiz said: "I said to Faḍālah bin 'Ubaid: 'Do you think that hanging the hand from the thief's neck is Sunnah?' He said: 'Yes; a thief was brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he cut off his hand and hung it from his neck.'" (Da'if) Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān (An-Nasā'ī) said: Al-Hajjāj bin Arṭāh is weak, his narrations are not used as proof.

Arabic text

4983 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِفَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ: أَرَأَيْتَ تَعْلِيقَ الْيَدِ فِي عُنُقِ السَّارِقِ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ؟ هُوَ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَارِقٍ فَقَطَعَ يَدَهُ وَعَلَّقَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: «الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ ضَعِيفٌ، وَلَا يُحْتَجُّ بِحَدِيثِهِ»
