nasai-kubra:7326Hilāl b. al-ʿAlāʾ > Ḥusayn > Zuhayr > ʿAbd al-Malik / Ibn Abū Bashīr > ʿIkrimah > Ṣafwān b. Umayyah

he circumambulated theKa'bah and prayed, then he rolled up a Rid' of his and placed it beneath his head, and slept. A thief came and slid it out from beneath his head and took it. He brought him to the Prophet and said: "This man stole my Rida. The Prophet said to him: Did you steal this man's Rida?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Take him away and cut his hand off." Safwan said: "I* did not want to have his hand cut off for my Rida'." He said: "Why (did you not say that) before now?" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4881)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٧٣٢٦أَخْبَرَنِي هِلَالُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي بَشِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ

أَنَّهُ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ لَفَّ رِدَاءً لَهُ مِنْ بُرْدٍ فَوَضَعَهُ تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ فَنَامَ فَأَتَاهُ لِصٌّ فَاسْتَلَّهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِهِ فَأَخَذَهُ فَأَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا سَرَقَ رِدَائِي فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَسَرَقْتَ رِدَاءَ هَذَا؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «اذْهَبَا بِهِ فَاقْطَعَا يَدَهُ» قَالَ صَفْوَانُ مَا كُنْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقْطَعَ يَدَهُ فِي رِدَائِي فَقَالَ لَهُ فَلَوْ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَ هَذَا خَالَفَهُ أَشْعَثُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ
