وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ - هُوَ الثَّوْرِيُّ - حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ خُصَيْفَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَ:
إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ سَرَقَ شَمْلَةً، فَقَالَ: أَسَرَقْتَ ؟ مَا إِخَالُكَ تَسْرِقُ. قَالَ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَاقْطَعُوا يَدَهُ، ثُمَّ احْسِمُوهَا، ثُمَّ ائْتُونِي بِهِ، فَقَطَعُوهُ ثُمَّ حَسَمُوهُ، ثُمَّ أَتَوْا بِهِ فَقَالَ: تُبْ إِلَى اللهِ. فَقَالَ: أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللهِ. قَالَ ﷺ: اللَّهُمَّ تُبْ عَلَيْهِ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ was brought a man who had stolen a cloak. He said: Did you steal? I do not think you would steal. He said: Yes, O Messenger of God. He said: Take him and cut off his hand, then cauterize it, then bring him to me. So they cut it off, then cauterized it, then brought him. He said: Repent to God. He said: I repent to God. He ﷺ said: O God, turn to him in mercy.
