أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَدِّيُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

جِيءَ بِسَارِقٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اقْتُلُوهُ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا سَرَقَ قَالَ «اقْطَعُوهُ» فَقُطِعَ ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِهِ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ «اقْتُلُوهُ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا سَرَقَ قَالَ «اقْطَعُوهُ» فَأُتِيَ بِهِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ «اقْتُلُوهُ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا سَرَقَ قَالَ «اقْطَعُوهُ» فَأُتِيَ بِهِ الرَّابِعَةَ قَالَ «اقْتُلُوهُ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا سَرَقَ قَالَ «اقْطَعُوهُ» فَأُتِيَ بِهِ الْخَامِسَةَ فَقَالَ «اقْتُلُوهُ» قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَانْطَلَقْنَا بِهِ إِلَى مِرْبَدِ النَّعَمِ فَاسْتَلْقَى عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ ثُمَّ كَسَّ بِيَدِهِ وَرِجْلِهِ فَانْصَدَعَتِ الْإِبِلُ ثُمَّ حَمَلُوا عَلَيْهِ الثَّانِيَةَ فَفَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ حَمَلُوا عَلَيْهِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ فَقَتَلْنَاهُ ثُمَّ أَلْقَيْنَاهُ فِي بِئْرٍ ثُمَّ رَمَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْحِجَارَةَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَيَحْيَى الْقَطَّانُ لَمْ يَتْرُكْهُ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَيْسَ بِصَحِيحٍ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ حَدِيثًا صَحِيحًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

✧ A thief was brought to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: “Kill him.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, he only stole.” He said: “Cut him.” So he was cut. Then he was brought a second time and he said: “Kill him.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, he only stole.” He said: “Cut him.” Then he was brought a third time and he said: “Kill him.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, he only stole.” He said: “Cut him.” Then he was brought a fourth time and he said: “Kill him.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, he only stole.” He said: “Cut him.” Then he was brought a fifth time and he said: “Kill him.” Jabir said: We took him to the camel pen. He lay on his back, then he kicked with his hand and his leg, and the camels scattered. Then they attacked him a second time and he did the same. Then they attacked him a third time, and we stoned him and killed him. Then we threw him into a well and threw stones on him. Abu Abd al-Rahman said: Mus'ab b. Thabit is not strong, and Yahya al-Qattan did not abandon him. This hadith is not authentic, and I do not know of any authentic hadith from the Prophet ﷺ on this subject.
