[Machine] Abdullah, I have learned about the first punishment in Islam: a woman stole and her hand was cut off. As a result, the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed dramatically. Then he said, "Let them forgive and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." (Quran 24:22)  

أحمد:٣٧١١حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْجَابِرِ عَنْ أَبِي مَاجِدٍ قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ بِابْنِ أَخٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا ابْنُ أَخِي وَقَدْ شَرِبَ فَقَالَ

عَبْدُ اللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَوَّلَ حَدٍّ كَانَ فِيالْإِسْلَامِ امْرَأَةٌ سَرَقَتْ فَقُطِعَتْ يَدُهَا فَتَغَيَّرَ لِذَلِكَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَغَيُّرًا شَدِيدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ {وَلْيَعْفُوا وَلْيَصْفَحُوا أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَكُمْ وَاللهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ} [النور 22]
