أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً کَانَتْ تَسْتَعِيرُ الْحُلِيَّ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَعَارَتْ مِنْ ذَلِکَ حُلِيًّا فَجَمَعَتْهُ ثُمَّ أَمْسَکَتْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِتَتُبْ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَتُؤَدِّي مَا عِنْدَهَا مِرَارًا فَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَقُطِعَتْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4905
It was narrated from Nafi’ that a woman used to borrow jewelry during the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم She borrowed some jewelry, collected it and kept it. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Let this woman repent and give back what she has,” several times, but she did not do that, so he ordered that her hand be cut off. (Sahih)
