[Machine] The passage translates into English as follows:

"With regards to the thief, they said, 'O Messenger of Allah, this is a young boy, an orphan from the Ansar (helpers), and by Allah, we do not know of any possessions they have besides this (stolen item).' So he left him. Then he was brought to him a second time, and he left him. Then he was brought to him a third time, and he left him. Then he was brought to him a fourth time, and he left him. Then he was brought to him a fifth time, and he cut off his hand. Then he was brought to him a sixth time, and he cut off his foot. Then he was brought to him a seventh time, and he cut off his hand. Then he was brought to him an eighth time, and he cut off his foot. This is how I found it in my book.' Hammadd bin Mas'adah narrated from Ibn Juraij, from Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah, from Al-Harith bin Abdullah bin Abi Rabi'ah, and he is the most authentic and reliable, in a sound chain of narration."
