"عن محمد بن حاطب قال: أُتِىَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ بِلِصٍّ فَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّهُ سَرَقَ، قَالَ: اقْطَعُوهُ، ثُمَّ جِئَ بِهِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَبِى بَكْرٍ وَقَدْ قُطِعَتْ قَوَائِمُهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مَا أَجِدُ لَكَ شَيئًا إِلَّا مَا قَضَى فِيكَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَوْمَ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِكَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْلَمَ بِكَ، فَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ".

"From Muḥammad b. Ḥāṭib, who said: A thief was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he ordered that he be killed. It was said to him: 'He has stolen.' He said: 'Cut him off.' Then after that he was brought to Abū Bakr, and his limbs had already been cut off. Abū Bakr said: 'I find nothing for you except what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ decreed concerning you on the day he ordered you to be killed, for he knew you better.' So he ordered him to be killed."
