أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الْمَصَاحِفِيُّ الْبَلْخِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يُوسُفُ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِلِصٍّ فَقَالَ اقْتُلُوهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا سَرَقَ فَقَالَ اقْتُلُوهُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا سَرَقَ قَالَ اقْطَعُوا يَدَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَرَقَ فَقُطِعَتْ رِجْلُهُ ثُمَّ سَرَقَ عَلَى عَهْدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ حَتَّى قُطِعَتْ قَوَائِمُهُ كُلُّهَا ثُمَّ سَرَقَ أَيْضًا الْخَامِسَةَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهُ ﷺ أَعْلَمَ بِهَذَا حِينَ قَالَ اقْتُلُوهُ ثُمَّ دَفَعَهُ إِلَى فِتْيَةٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ مِنْهُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ الإِمَارَةَ فَقَالَ أَمِّرُونِي عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَمَّرُوهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَكَانَ إِذَا ضَرَبَ ضَرَبُوهُ حَتَّى قَتَلُوهُ

"Kill him." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, he only stole (something)." He said: "Kill him." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, he only stole (something)." He said: "Cut off his hand." Then he stole again, and his foot was cut off. Then he stole at the time of Abu Bakr, untilo all his extremities had been cut off. Then he stole a fifth time, and Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah knew better about him when he said: 'Kill him."' Then he handed him over to some young men of Quraish to kill him, among whom was 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair who liked to be in a position of leadership. He said: "Put me in charge of them," so they put him in charge of them and when he struck him, they would strike him, until they killed him.
