Sunan Abi Dawud 4394

Translation

I was sleeping in the mosque on a cloak mine whose price was thirty dirhams. A man came and pinched it away from me. The man was seized and brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He ordered that his hand should be cut off. I came to him and said: Do you cut off only for thirty dirhams ? I sell it to him and make the payment of its price a loan ? He said: Why did you not do so before bringing him to me ? Abu Dawud said: Za'idah has also transmitted it from Simak from Ju'ayd ibn Hujayr. He said: Safwan slept. Mujahid and Tawus said: While he was sleeping a thief came and stole the cloak from beneath his head. The version of AbuSalamah ibn AbdurRahman has: He snatched it away from beneath his head and he awoke. He cried and he (the thief) was seized. Az-Zuhri narrated from Safwan ibn Abdullah. His version has: He slept in the mosque and used his cloak as pillow. A thief came and took his cloak. The thief was seized and brought to the Prophet ﷺ.

• Ibn al-Qaṭṭān

  في بعض أسانيده حميد ابن أخت صفوان ولا يعرف في غير هذا وفي بعض طرقه عن عبد الملك بن أبي بشير عن عكرمة عن صفوان ولا نعرف أن عكرمة سمعه من صفوان وإنما يرويه عن ابن عباس وفي بعضها عن طاوس عن صفوان وقد قال البزار إن طاوسا رواه مرسلا

  machine translationIn some of its chains of transmission is Ḥumayd, the son of Ṣafwān's sister, who is not known except through this report. In some of its routes, it is from ʿAbd al-Malik b. Abī Bashīr, from ʿIkrimah, from Ṣafwān, yet we do not know that ʿIkrimah heard it from Ṣafwān; rather, he narrates it from Ibn ʿAbbās. In some of them, it is from Ṭāwus, from Ṣafwān, and al-Bazzār said that Ṭāwus narrated it as a mursal report (mursal). Report a problem
