حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ مَوْلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ أَبَا أُمَيَّةَ حَدَّثَهُ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِلِصٍّ فَاعْتَرَفَ اعْتِرَافًا وَلَمْ يُوجَدْ مَعَهُ الْمَتَاعُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا إِخَالُكَ سَرَقْتَ قَالَ بَلَى ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا إِخَالُكَ سَرَقْتَ قَالَ بَلَى فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُطِعَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قُلْ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ تُبْ عَلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ

“I heard Abu Mundhir, the freed slave of Abu Dharr, say that Abu Umayyah narrated to him, that a thief was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he admitted his crime, although the stolen goods were not found with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I do not think you stole them.’ He said: 'Yes I did.' Then he said (again): ‘I do not think that you stole them.’ and he said: 'Yes I did.' Then he ordered that his hand be cut off. The Prophet ﷺ ' Say: I seek Allah's forgiveness and I repent to Him.' So he (the thief) said: 'I seek Allah's forgiveness and I repent to him.' He (the Prophet ﷺ said twice: 'O Allah! Accept his repentance.”

- Khaṭṭābī
في إسناده مقال
machine translationThere is some criticism (maqāl) of its chain of transmission.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2688 - ابن الملقن
وذكر الخطابي أن في إسناده مقالا والحديث إذا رواه رجل مجهول لم يكن حجة ولم يجب الحكم به
machine translationAl-Khaṭṭābī mentioned that there is some criticism concerning its chain of transmission, and when a hadith is narrated by an unknown man (majhūl), it is not a proof and it is not obligatory to rule by it.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2688 - ʿAbd al-ʿAẓīm al-Mudhirī
وفيه ضعف فإن أبا المنذر هذا مجهول لم يرو عنه إلا إسحاق بن عبد الله بن أبي طلحة
machine translationThere is weakness (ḍaʿf) in it, for this Abū al-Mundhir is unknown (majhūl); no one narrated from him except Isḥāq b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Ṭalḥah.
