حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ الْمُجَبِّرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مَاجِدٍ يَعْنِي الْحَنَفِيَّ قَالَ كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَذْكُرُ أَوَّلَ رَجُلٍ قَطَعَهُ أُتِيَ بِسَارِقٍ فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ وَكَأَنَّمَا أُسِفَّ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَأَنَّكَ كَرِهْتَ قَطْعَهُ قَالَ وَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي لَا تَكُونُوا عَوْنًا لِلشَّيْطَانِ عَلَى أَخِيكُمْ إِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي لِلْإِمَامِ إِذَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ حَدٌّ أَنْ يُقِيمَهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَفُوٌّ يُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ وَلْيَعْفُوا وَلْيَصْفَحُوا أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4168
Abul-Majid - i.e., al-Hanafi said: I was sitting with 'Abdullah and he said: i remember the first man whose hand was cut off. A thief was brought to the Prophet (PBUH) and he issued orders that his hand be cut off. And it was as if the face of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was covered with dust (i.e., his face changed colour). They said: O Messenger of Allah, it is as if you are upset about cutting off his hand. He said: "What could prevent me (from cutting off his hand)? Do not be the Shaitan's helpers against your companion. If a case is brought to the ruler that deserves the hadd punishment, he should carry it out. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, is forgiving and loves forgiveness. 'Let them pardon and forgive, Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful' [an- Noor 24:22]."
