[Machine] Sufwan ibn Umayyah was a man from the liberated ones. He came to the Prophet ﷺ and tied his camel and put his cloak on it. Then, he moved aside to relieve himself. A man came and stole his cloak, and brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He ordered that it be cut, so Sufwan said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall it be cut while it is my cloak that I will give as a gift?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why didn't you come to me before bringing it to me?"  

كَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الطُّلَقَاءِ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ وَوَضَعَ رِدَاءَهُ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى يَقْضِي الْحَاجَةَ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَسَرَقَ رِدَاءَهُ فَأَخَذَهُ فَأَتَى بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَقْطَعُهُ فِي رِدَائِي أَنَا أَهَبُهُ لَهُ فَقَالَ فَهَلَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ
