وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ بِغُلَامٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ: اقْطَعْ يَدَهُ فَإِنَّهُ سرقَ مرآةَ لأمرأتي فَقَالَ عمَرُ رَضِي اللَّهُ عَنهُ: لَا قَطْعَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ خَادِمُكُمْ أَخَذَ مَتَاعَكُمْ. رَوَاهُ مَالك
Translation
Ibn 'Umar told that a man brought a slave of his to 'Umar and said, "Cut off his hand, for he has stolen a mirror belonging to my wife.” 'Umar replied, "Cutting off the hand may not be inflicted on him. It is your servant who has taken your belongings.” Malik transmitted it.
