أُتِيَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بِقَوْمٍ لُصُوصٍ قَدْ سَرَقُوا فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ مِنْ نِصْفِ الْكَفِّ وَ تَرَكَ الْإِبْهَامَ وَ لَمْ يَقْطَعْهَا وَ أَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا دَارَ الضِّيَافَةِ وَ أَمَرَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ أَنْ تُعَالَجَ فَأَطْعَمَهُمُ السَّمْنَ وَ الْعَسَلَ وَ اللَّحْمَ حَتَّى بَرَءُوا فَدَعَاهُمْ وَ قَالَ يَا هَؤُلَاءِ إِنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ قَدْ سَبَقَتْ إِلَى النَّارِ فَإِنْ تُبْتُمْ وَ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ مِنْكُمْ صِدْقَ النِّيَّةِ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ جَرَرْتُمْ أَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تُقْلِعُوا وَ لَمْ تَنْتَهُوا عَمَّا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ جَرَّتْكُمْ أَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ.

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al Daylami, from Haroun Bin Al Jahm, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, Abu Ja’far asws has said: ‘They came to Amir Al-Momineen asws with a group who had stolen. So he asws cut their hands from half the palm, and left the thumb and did not cut it, and ordered them that they should enter the guest house, and ordered for the healing of their hands. So they were fed the butter, and the honey, and the meat, until they were cured. So he asws called them over and said: ‘O you all! Your hands have preceded you to the Fire. So if you were to repent, and Allah azwj Knows from you the sincerity of the intention, He azwj would Trun towards you (with Mercy) and your hands would join you in the Paradise. And if you do not improve and do not stop from what you are upon, your hands would drag you into the Fire’.
