[Machine] There was never a hand cut off during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for less than the worth of a handful of dates or barley.

bukhari:6794 – Yūsuf b. Mūsá > Abū Usāmah > Hishām b. ʿUrwah from his father > ʿĀʾishah

A thief's hand was not cut off for stealing something worth less than the price of a shield, whether a Turs or Hajafa (two kinds of shields), each of which was worth a (respectable) price.

البخاري:٦٧٩٤ – حَدَّثَنِي يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ

لَمْ تُقْطَعْ يَدُ سَارِقٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي أَدْنَى مِنْ ثَمَنِ الْمِجَنِّ تُرْسٍ أَوْ حَجَفَةٍ وَكَانَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا ذَا ثَمَنٍ

'A'isha reported that during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ the hand of the thief was not cut off for less than the price of a shield, iron coat or armour and both of them are valuable.

لَمْ تُقْطَعْ يَدُ سَارِقٍ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَمَنِ الْمِجَنِّ حَجَفَةٍ أَوْ تُرْسٍ وَكِلاَهُمَا ذُو ثَمَنٍ
