حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ عَنْ مَالِکِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ نَامَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَتَوَسَّدَ رِدَائَهُ فَأُخِذَ مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِهِ فَجَائَ بِسَارِقِهِ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ فَقَالَ صَفْوَانُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أُرِدْ هَذَا رِدَائِي عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَهَلَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2595
It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Safwan that his father slept in the Masjid, using his upper wrap as a pillow, and it was taken from beneath his head. He brought the thief to the Prophet and the Prophet ordered that his hand be cut off. Safwan said: “O Messenger of Allah, I did not wish this! I give my upper wrap to him in charity.” The Messenger of Allah said: “Why did you not give it to him before you brought him to me?”
