Chapter 40 · Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud)السَّارِقِ يَسْرِقُ فِي الْغَزْوِ أَيُقْطَعُ
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ الْقِتْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ شِيَيْمِ بْنِ بَيْتَانَ، وَيَزِيدَ بْنِ صُبْحٍ الْأَصْبَحِيِّ، عَنْ جُنَادَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ بُسْرِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَأُتِيَ بِسَارِقٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ: مِصْدَرٌ قَدْ سَرَقَ بُخْتِيَّةً فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: لَا تُقْطَعُ الْأَيْدِي فِي السَّفَرِ وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ لَقَطَعْتُهُ .

The thief who steals during a military expedition - should his hand be cut off
We were with Busr bin Artat on the sea (on an expedition). A thief called Misdar who had stolen a bukhti she-camel was brought. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: Hands are not to be cut off during a warlike expedition. Had it not been so, I would have cut it off.
