"عن محمد بن حاطب قال: أُتِىَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ بِلِصٍّ فَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّهُ سَرَقَ، قَالَ: اقْطَعُوهُ، ثُمَّ جِئَ بِهِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَبِى بَكْرٍ وَقَدْ قُطِعَتْ قَوَائِمُهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مَا أَجِدُ لَكَ شَيئًا إِلَّا مَا قَضَى فِيكَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَوْمَ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِكَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْلَمَ بِكَ، فَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ".

[Machine] As long as he was eager for leadership, we asked him, "And why is that?" He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ brought a thief and ordered his killing. It was said to him, 'He has stolen.' So he said, 'Cut off his hand.' Then he was brought to Abu Bakr, and he had stolen and his hands had been cut off. Abu Bakr said, 'I cannot find anything for you except what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has decreed for you on the day he ordered your killing, for he knew you best.' Then he ordered that he be killed, and a group of the immigrants were among them, of whom I was one." Ibn Al-Zubayr said, "Command me regarding this." So we set out with him, and he mentioned the hadith.
