29. Ḥudūd (Punishments)
٢٩۔ كتاب الحدود
'A'isha reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ cut off the hand of a thief for a quarter of a dinar rid upwards.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْطَعُ السَّارِقَ فِي رُبْعِ دِينَارٍ فَصَاعِدًا
عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِمِثْلِهِ فِي هَذَا الإِسْنَادِ
The hand of a thief should not be cut off but for a quarter of a dinar and upwards.
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تُقْطَعُ يَدُ السَّارِقِ إِلاَّ فِي رُبْعِ دِينَارٍ فَصَاعِدًا
I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The hand (of a thief) should not be cut off but for a quarter of a dinar and what is above that.
أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تُقْطَعُ الْيَدُ إِلاَّ فِي رُبْعِ دِينَارٍ فَمَا فَوْقَهُ
The hand of the thief may not be cut off but for a quarter of a dinar and upwards.
أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تُقْطَعُ يَدُ السَّارِقِ إِلاَّ فِي رُبْعِ دِينَارٍ فَصَاعِدًا
A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Yazid b. 'Abdullah b. al-Had with the same chain of transmitters.
عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْهَادِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ
'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
عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرُّؤَاسِيِّ وَفِي حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ وَأَبِي أُسَامَةَ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ذُو ثَمَنٍ
Ibn 'Umar reported that Messenger of Allah (may peace upon him) cut off the hand of a thief (in case of the theft) of a shield the price of which was three dirhams.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَطَعَ سَارِقًا فِي مِجَنٍّ قِيمَتُهُ ثَلاَثَةُ دَرَاهِمَ
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar through some other chains of transmitters but with a slight variation of words.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ قَالَ قِيمَتُهُ وَبَعْضُهُمْ قَالَ ثَمَنُهُ ثَلاَثَةُ دَرَاهِمَ
Let there be the curse of Allah upon the thief who steals an egg and his hand is cut off, and steals a rope and his hand is cut off.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ السَّارِقَ يَسْرِقُ الْبَيْضَةَ فَتُقْطَعُ يَدُهُ وَيَسْرِقُ الْحَبْلَ فَتُقْطَعُ يَدُهُ
This hadith is narrated on the authority of A'mash with the same chain of transmitters with a slight variation of words.
عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ إِنْ سَرَقَ حَبْلاً وَإِنْ سَرَقَ بَيْضَةً
