bayhaqi:16784Abū Muḥammad ʿAbdullāh b. Yūsuf al-Aṣbahānī > Abū Saʿīd b. al-Aʿrābī > al-Ḥasan b. Muḥammad al-Zaʿfarānī > Yazīd b. Hārūn > Hishām > Muḥammad > ʿUbaydah > ʿAlī ؓ > Liʾahl

[Machine] There is a man among them who has a paralyzed hand or a crippled hand or a disfigured hand. If you do not cut it off, I will inform you of what Allah has ordained on the tongue of His Prophet ﷺ about those who killed them.

They disliked it and did not dislike his treatment of the Khawarij. The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This is how...
