أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، عَنْ أَسْبَاطٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ أُخْتِ، صَفْوَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ

قَالَ كُنْتُ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى خَمِيصَةٍ لِي ثَمَنُهَا ثَلَاثُونَ دِرْهَمًا فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَاخْتَلَسَهَا مِنِّي فَأُخِذَ الرَّجُلُ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ لِيُقْطَعَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أَتَقْطَعُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْهَمًا أَنَا أَبِيعُهُ وَأُنْسِئُهُ ثَمَنَهَا. قَالَ: «فَهَلاَّ كَانَ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ»

“I was sleeping in the Masjid on a Khmaishah of mine that was worth thirty dirhams, and a man came and stole it from me. The man was caught and taken to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), who ordered that his hand be cut off. I came to him and said: ‘Will you cut off his hand for the sake of only thirty Dirhams? I will sell it to him on credit.’ He said: ‘ Why did you not say this before you brought him to me?’”

আহমদ ইবন উসমান ইবন হাকীম (রহঃ) ... সাফওয়ান ইবন উমাইয়া (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি মসজিদে আমার একটি চাদরের উপর নিদ্রিত ছিলাম, যার মূল্য ত্রিশ দিরহাম হবে। এক ব্যক্তি এসে তা উঠিয়ে নিয়ে যায় এবং পরে সে ধরা পড়ে। তাকে রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর নিকট উপস্থিত করা হলে তিনি তার হাত কাটার আদেশ করলেন।

আমি বললামঃ ইয়া রাসূলাল্লাহ্! ত্রিশ দিরহামের পরিবর্তে আপনি তার হাত কাটার আদেশ দিলেন? আমি চাদর তার নিকট বিক্রি করছি আর এর মূল্য তার নিকট বাকি রাখছি। তিনি বললেনঃ আমার নিকট আনার পূর্বে তুমি কেন এরূপ করলে না?

Telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Ahmad bin Utsman bin Hakim] telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Amru] dari [Asbath] dari [Simak] dari [Humaid] anak saudara wanita Shafwan dari [Shafwan bin Umayyah], dia berkata; "Saya pernah tidur di masjid di atas bajuku yang harganya tiga puluh dirham, kemudian datang seorang laki-laki dan mencurinya dariku.

Lalu orang tersebut ditangkap dan dibawa kepada Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Beliau memerintahkan agar tangannya dipotong, Lalu saya mendatangi beliau seraya berkata; "Apakah Tuan akan memotongnya karena tiga puluh dirham? saya menjualnya dan menghutangkan harganya. Beliau bersabda: "Kenapa hal ini tidak terjadi (kau katakana) sebelum engkau membawanya kepadaku?

Sunan an-Nasa'i 4883, Book 46, The Book of Cutting off the Hand of the Thief, Hadith 14. 1 min read

What it means

Safwān ibn Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was sleeping in the mosque covered by his checked cloak. A thief swiftly snatched that cloak away, but he was caught and brought to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) to be punished for theft. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the hand of the thief should be cut off.

It seems that Sawfān,(may Allah be pleased with him) felt sympathy for the thief, so he said to the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him): "Will you cut off his hand for the sake of only thirty dirhams?" Then he suggested to sell the cloak to the thief on credit and give him time until he can pay its price. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said that this pardon should have been made before bringing the thief to him, because pardon is void if it is made after any of the prescribed corporal punishments is brought to the judge or ruler.
