( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو حَازِمٍ، وَأَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ قَالَا: أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ الْكَرَابِيسِيُّ، أَنْبَأَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، ثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَائِذٍ قَالَ:
أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ بِرَجُلٍ أَقْطَعَ الْيَدِ وَالرِّجْلِ قَدْ سَرَقَ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ عُمَرُ ؓ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ رِجْلُهُ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ إِنَّمَا قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: إِنَّمَا جَزَاءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ، فَقَدْ قَطَعْتَ يَدَ هَذَا وَرِجْلَهُ فَلَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَقْطَعَ رِجْلَهُ فَتَدَعَهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ قَائِمَةٌ يَمْشِي عَلَيْهَا إِمَّا أَنْ تُعَزِّرَهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَسْتَوْدِعَهُ السِّجْنَ. قَالَ: فَاسْتَوْدَعَهُ السِّجْنَ

ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (may God be pleased with him) was brought a man whose hand and foot had been cut off, who had stolen. ʿUmar (may God be pleased with him) ordered that his foot be cut off. ʿAlī (may God be pleased with him) said: "God, Mighty and Majestic, only said: {إِنَّمَا جَزَاءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ} to the end of the verse. You have already cut off this man's hand and his foot, so it is not right that you cut off his foot and leave him with no leg to walk on. Either discipline him with a discretionary punishment (taʿzīr), or put him in prison." He said: So he put him in prison.

- Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī
الرواية الأولى عن عمر رضي الله عنه أولى أن تكون صحيحة وكيف تصح هذه عن عمر رضي الله عنه وقد أنكر في الرواية الأولى قطع الرجل بعد اليد والرجل وأشار باليد ورواية ابن عباس موصولة تشهد للرواية الأولى بالصحة وكذلك رواية صفية بنت أبي عبيد فيها ما في رواية القاسم بن محمد بن أبي بكر
machine translationThe first report from ʿUmar (may God be pleased with him) is more deserving to be sound. How could this one be sound from ʿUmar (may God be pleased with him), when in the first report he objected to cutting off the foot after the hand and foot, and indicated the hand? The connected (mawṣūl) report of Ibn ʿAbbās testifies to the soundness of the first report. Likewise the report of Ṣafiyyah bt. Abī ʿUbayd contains what is in the report of al-Qāsim b. Muḥammad b. Abī Bakr.
