a man stole a Burdah of his, so he brought him before the Messenger of Allah, who ordered that his hand be cut off. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I will let him have it." He said: "Abu Wahb! Why didn't you do that before you brought him to us?" And the Messenger of Allah had (the man's) hand cut off. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4878)  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَرَقَ بُرْدَةً لَهُ فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ تَجَاوَزْتُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَبَا وَهْبٍ أَفَلَا كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِينَا بِهِ فَقَطَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
