حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ ثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْقُطَيْعِيُّ ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى الْجَابِرَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مَاجِدَةَ يَقُولُ كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ
إِنِّي لَا أَذْكُرُ أَوَّلَ رَجُلٍ قَطَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِسَارِقٍ فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا أَسِفَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَأَنَّكَ كَرِهْتَ قَطْعَهُ قَالَ «وَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي لَا تَكُونُوا أَعْوَانًا لِلشَّيْطَانِ عَلَى أَخِيكُمْ إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْإِمَامِ إِذَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ حَدٌّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُقِيمَهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَفُوٌّ يُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ وَلْيَعْفُوا وَلْيَصْفَحُوا أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ»

✧ I do not recall the first man whose hand the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cut off. A thief was brought and he ordered his hand to be cut off, and it was as if grief appeared on the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They said, “O Messenger of Allah, it seems you disliked cutting him.” He said, “And what prevents me? Do not be helpers of Satan against your brother. It is not fitting for the ruler, when a prescribed punishment reaches him, except to carry it out. Allah is Pardoning and loves pardon, so let them pardon and overlook. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”
