الكبرى للنسائي:٧٣٢٧أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْعَلَاءِ الْكُوفِيَّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ هُوَ ابْنُ سَوَّارٍ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ صَفْوَانُ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَرِدَاؤُهُ تَحْتَهُ فَسُرِقَ فَقَامَ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَدْرَكَهُ فَأَخَذَهُ فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ قَالَ صَفْوَانُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا بَلَغَ رِدَائِي أَنْ يُقْطَعَ فِيهِ رَجُلٌ قَالَ «فَهَلَّا كَانَ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِينَا بِهِ؟»
