أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ عَنْ مَکْحُولٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِفَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ أَرَأَيْتَ تَعْلِيقَ الْيَدِ فِي عُنُقِ السَّارِقِ مِنْ السُّنَّةِ هُوَ قَالَ نَعَمْ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَارِقٍ فَقَطَعَ يَدَهُ وَعَلَّقَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ ضَعِيفٌ وَلَا يُحْتَجُّ بِحَدِيثِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4998
It was narrated that ‘Abdur Rahman bin Muhairiz said: “I said to Falalah bin ‘Ubaid: ‘Do you think that hanging the hand from the thiefs neck is Sunnah?’ He said: ‘Yes; a thief was brought to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he cut off his hand and hung it from his neck.” (Da’if) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: Al-Hajjaj bin Artah is weak, his narrations are not used as proof.
