حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ الْقِتْبَانِيِّ عَنْ شُيَيْمِ بْنِ بَيْتَانَ وَيَزِيدَ بْنِ صُبْحٍ الأَصْبَحِيِّ عَنْ جُنَادَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ بُسْرِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَأُتِيَ بِسَارِقٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ مِصْدَرٌ قَدْ سَرَقَ بُخْتِيَّةً فَقَالَ قَدْ
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تُقْطَعُ الأَيْدِي فِي السَّفَرِ وَلَوْلاَ ذَلِكَ لَقَطَعْتُهُ

Junadah ibn AbuUmayyah said: We were with Busr ibn Artat on the sea (on an expedition). A thief called Misdar who had stolen a bukhti she-camel was brought. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Hands are not to be cut off during a warlike expedition. Had it not been so, I would have cut it off.
