Hadith record

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Al Qasim, (the narrator) says, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah asws about a man who stole, so he asws said: ‘I asws heard my asws father asws saying, ‘They came with a man who had stolen, to Ali asws during his asws era. So he asws cut his hand. They came with him for a second time, so he asws cut his opposite leg (left leg). Then they came with him for a third time, so he asws imprisoned him for life, and spent upon him from the public treasury of the Muslims and said: ‘This is what Rasool-Allah saww used to do. I asws will not oppose him saww ’.
