قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، أَنَّ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، وَابْنَ سَابِطٍ الْأَحْوَلَ، حَدَّثَاهُ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِعَبْدٍ فَقِيلَ: هَذَا سَرَقَ، وَقَامَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْبَيِّنَةُ، وَوُجِدَتْ مَعَهُ سَرِقَتُهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: هَذَا عَبْدٌ لِأَيْتَامٍ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ غَيْرُهُ فَتَرَكَهُ. ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِهِ الثَّانِيَةَ، وَالثَّالِثَةَ، ثُمَّ الرَّابِعَةَ، فَتَرَكَهُ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِهِ الْخَامِسَةَ فَقَطَعَ يَدَهُ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِهِ السَّادِسَةَ فَقَطَعَ رِجْلَهُ، ثُمَّ السَّابِعَةَ فَقَطَعَ يَدَهُ، ثُمَّ الثَّامِنَةَ فَقَطَعَ رِجْلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: أَرْبَعًا بِأَرْبَعٍ، أَعْفَاهُ أَرْبَعًا، وَعَاقَبَهُ أَرْبَعًا

✧ A slave was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, and it was said: “This one has stolen,” and evidence was established against him, and his stolen property was found with him. The Prophet ﷺ said: “This is a slave belonging to orphans who have no one else besides him,” so he let him go. Then he was brought a second time, and a third, and a fourth, and he let him go four times. Then he was brought a fifth time, and he cut off his hand. Then he was brought a sixth time, and he cut off his foot. Then a seventh time, and he cut off his hand. Then an eighth time, and he cut off his foot.
