[AI] Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed me of a license in what has not been completed from the book Al-Mustadrak. Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Balawiyyah narrated to me, who narrated from Ishaq ibn Al-Hassan Al-Harbi, who narrated from Affan ibn Muslim, who narrated from Hammad ibn Salamah, who narrated from Yahya ibn Saad, who narrated from Al-Harith ibn Hattab, that a man stole during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He was brought to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Kill him." The people said, "He only stole once." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Cut his hand." The man stole again, so his hand was cut off. He stole again during the time of Abu Bakr, so his hand was cut off again. He continued stealing and his hands were cut off until both of his hands were amputated. Then, he stole for the fifth time, and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ knew about this when he commanded for him to be killed. Take him, and kill him." He was then handed over to the youth of Quraysh, and among them was Abdullah ibn Zubayr. Abdullah ibn Zubayr said, "Order me to kill him." So they gave him the order, and whenever he struck him, they followed suit until they killed him. Is'haq Al-Hanzali narrated it from Nadr ibn Shumail, who narrated from Hammad ibn Salamah, who narrated from Yahya ibn Saad.
