الكبرى للنسائي:٧٣٢٩أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَذَكَرَ حَمَّادَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ

أَنَّهَا سُرِقَتْ خَمِيصَتُهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِهِ وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ فِي مَسْجِدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ اللِّصَّ فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ قَالَ صَفْوَانُ أَتَقْطَعُهُ؟ قَالَ «فَهَلَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ تَرَكْتَهُ»
