Amputation for stealing a shield

ahmad:18925Yūnus b. Muḥammad > Layth b. Saʿd > Yazīd b. Abī Ḥabīb > ʿIrāk > Marwān

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ amputated for a shield, and a camel is better than a shield.

أحمد:١٨٩٢٥حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ عِرَاكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مَرْوَانَ بِالْمَوْسِمِ يَقُولُ

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَطَعَ فِي مِجَنٍّ، وَالْبَعِيرُ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْمِجَنِّ.
