ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2588
It was narrated from Abdur-Rahman bin Tha'labah Al-Ansari, from his father, that' Amr bin Samurah bin Habib bin Abd Shams came to the Messenger of Allah and said: "0 Messenger of AllahP.B.U.H I stole a camel belonging to Banu so-and-so; purify me!" The Prophet sent word to them and they said: "(Yes), we have lost a camel of ours." So the Prophet ordered that his hand be cut off. Tha'Iabah said: "I was looking at him when his hand fell, and he said (to it): 'Praise is to Allah Who has purified me of you; you wanted to cause my whole body to enter Hell.”
