[Machine] There was a thief who came to his father while he was sleeping and took his garment from under his head. The father woke up and took him to the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ ordered that his hand be cut. The thief said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have made him permissible for me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why didn't you ask for permission before coming to me? Verily, when the Imam is given a punishment for crossing the limits set by Allah, he establishes it."
أَنَّ لِصًّا أَتَى أَبَاهُ وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ فَاسْتَلَّ إِزَارَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِهِ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ فَأَخَذَهُ فَأَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ أَحْلَلْتُهُ لَهُ قَالَ «فَهَلَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ إِنَّ الْإِمَامَ إِذَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ حَدٌّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللهِ أَقَامَهُ»
