حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ الْقِتْبَانِيِّ عَنْ شِيَيْمِ بْنِ بَيْتَانَ وَيَزِيدَ بْنِ صُبْحٍ الْأَصْبَحِيِّ عَنْ جُنَادَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ کُنَّا مَعَ بُسْرِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَأُتِيَ بِسَارِقٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ مِصْدَرٌ قَدْ سَرَقَ بُخْتِيَّةً فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا تُقْطَعُ الْأَيْدِي فِي السَّفَرِ وَلَوْلَا ذَلِکَ لَقَطَعْتُهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4408
Narrated Busr ibn Artat: Junadah ibn Abu Umayyah said: We were with Busr ibn Artat on the sea (on an expedition). A thief called Misdar who had stolen a bukhti she-camel was brought. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Hands are not to be cut off during a warlike expedition. Had it not been so, I would have cut it off.
