"I was sleeping in the Masjid on a Khmaishah of mine that was worth thirty dirhams, and a man came and stole it from me. The man was caught and taken to the Prophet, who ordered that his hand be cut off. I came to him and said: "Will you cut off his hand for the sake of only thirty Dirhams? I will sell it to him on credit." He said:" Why did you not say this before you brought him to me?"  

كُنْتُ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى خَمِيصَةٍ لِي ثَمَنُهَا ثَلاَثُونَ دِرْهَمًا فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَاخْتَلَسَهَا مِنِّي فَأُخِذَ الرَّجُلُ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ لِيُقْطَعَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أَتَقْطَعُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ثَلاَثِينَ دِرْهَمًا أَنَا أَبِيعُهُ وَأُنْسِئُهُ ثَمَنَهَا قَالَ فَهَلاَّ كَانَ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ  

[Machine] "I was sleeping in the mosque on my own shirt when it was stolen. So we took the thief and brought him to the Prophet ﷺ , who ordered his hand to be cut off. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, can I give him my shirt worth thirty dirhams as charity or sell it to him?' He replied, 'Why didn't you do that before bringing him to me?'"  

كُنْتُ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى خَمِيصَةٍ لِي فَسُرِقَتْ فَأَخَذْنَا السَّارِقَ فَرَفَعْنَاهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَبِقَطْعِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفِي خَمِيصَةٍ ثَمَنُ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْهَمًا أَنَا أَهَبُهَا لَهُ أَوْ أَبِيعُهَا لَهُ قَالَ فَهَلَّا كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ  

[Machine] "I was sleeping in the mosque on my shirt when it was stolen. We caught the thief and brought him to the Prophet ﷺ. He ordered for his hand to be cut off. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, is my shirt worth thirty dirhams? I will donate it to him or sell it to him.' He said, 'Why didn't you do that before bringing him to me?'"

كُنْتُ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَعَلَيَّ خَمِيصَةٌ لِي ثَمَنُ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْهَمًا فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَاخْتَلَسَهَا مِنِّي فَأُخِذَ الرَّجُلُ فَجِيءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أَتَقْطَعُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْهَمًا؟ أَنَا أَبِيعُهُ وَأَنْسِيهِ ثَمَنَهَا قَالَ «فَهَلَّا كَانَ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

I was sleeping in the mosque on a cloak mine whose price was thirty dirhams. A man came and pinched it away from me. The man was seized and brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He ordered that his hand should be cut off. I came to him and said: Do you cut off only for thirty dirhams ? I sell it to him and make the payment of its price a loan ? He said: Why did you not do so before bringing him to me ? Abu Dawud said: Za'idah has also transmitted it from Simak from Ju'ayd ibn Hujayr. He said: Safwan slept. Mujahid and Tawus said: While he was sleeping a thief came and stole the cloak from beneath his head. The version of AbuSalamah ibn AbdurRahman has: He snatched it away from beneath his head and he awoke. He cried and he (the thief) was seized. Az-Zuhri narrated from Safwan ibn Abdullah. His version has: He slept in the mosque and used his cloak as pillow. A thief came and took his cloak. The thief was seized and brought to the Prophet ﷺ. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4394)
