malik:41-24Mālik > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū Ḥusayn al-Makkī

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abd ar-Rahman abu Husayn al-Makki that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The hand is not cut off for fruit hanging on the tree and for sheep kept in the mountains. So when they are taken from the fold or the place where the fruit is dried, a hand is cut off for whatever reaches the price of a shield."  

مالك:٤١-٢٤وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ الْمَكِّيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ قَطْعَ فِي ثَمَرٍ مُعَلَّقٍ وَلاَ فِي حَرِيسَةِ جَبَلٍ فَإِذَا آوَاهُ الْمُرَاحُ أَوِ الْجَرِينُ فَالْقَطْعُ فِيمَا يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَ الْمِجَنِّ

nasai-kubra:7403Qutaybah b. Saʿīd > Abū ʿAwānah > ʿUbaydullāh b. al-Akhnas > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

"The Messenger of Allah was asked: 'For how much is the hand (of the thief) to be cut off?' He said: 'The hand (of the thief) is not to be cut off for (stealing) fruit on the tree, but if (the fruit) has been taken to the place where it is stored to dry, then the (thief's) hand is to be cut off (if what is stolen is equivalent to) the price of a shield. The (thief's) hand is not to be cut off for a sheep (stolen) from the grazing land, but if it had been put in the pen, then the (thief's) hand is to be cut off (if what is stolen is equivalent to) the price of a shield."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4957)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٧٤٠٣أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي كَمْ تُقْطَعُ الْيَدُ؟ فَقَالَ «لَا تُقْطَعُ الْيَدُ فِي ثَمَرٍ مُعَلَّقٍ فَإِذَا ضُمَّهُ الْجَرِينَ قُطِعَتْ فِي ثَمَنِ الْمِجَنِّ وَلَا يُقْطَعُ فِي حَرِيسَةِ الْجَبَلِ فَإِذَا آوَاهُ الْمُرَاحُ قُطِعَتْ فِي ثَمَنِ الْمِجَنِّ»
