الْحَارِثُ بْنُ حَاطِبٍ الْجُمَحِيُّ «وَهُوَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ حَاطِبِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ حَبِيبِ بْنِ وَهْبِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ بْنِ جُمَحَ، وَأُمُّهُ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ الْمُجَلِّلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ وَدِّ بْنِ نَضْرِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ حَسَلٍ، هَاجَرَتْ بِهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا حَاطِبِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ»

[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.
