[Machine] There was a weak, sick, and disheveled man among us, who did not graze the livestock except when he was with a group of their servants from whom he would sneak and steal. Sa'd bin 'Ubada mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and that man was a Muslim. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Punish him according to the punishment for theft." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, he is weaker than that, and if we were to punish him a hundred times, we would kill him." He said, "Give him a hundred lashes using a whip made of one hundred twigs, and then give him one additional strike." So they did as instructed.
كَانَ بَيْنَ أَبْيَاتِنَا رُوَيْجِلٌ ضَعِيفٌ سَقِيمٌ مُخْدَجٌ فَلَمْ يَرْعَ الْحَيُّ إِلَّا وَهُوَ عَلَى أَمَةٍ مِنْ إِمَائِهِمْ يَخْبُثُ بِهَا قَالَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الرُّوَيْجِلُ مُسْلِمًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ اضْرِبُوهُحَدَّهُ فَقَالَوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ أَضْعَفُ مِنْ ذَاكَ وَلَوْ ضَرَبْنَاهُ مَِائَةً قَتَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ خُذُوا لَهُ عِثْكَالًا فِيهِ مِائَةَ شِمْرَاخٍ ثُمَّ اضْرِبُوهُ بِهِ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً قَالَ فَفَعَلُوا
