حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تُقْطَعُ الْيَدُ فِي رُبُعِ دِينَارٍ فَصَاعِدًا». تَابَعَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَابْنُ أَخِي الزُّهْرِيِّ وَمَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “The hand should be cut off for stealing something that is worth a quarter of a Dinar or more.”

‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ দ্বীনারের চার ভাগের এক ভাগ বা এর বেশি বা ততোধিক চুরি করলে হাত কাটা যাবে। ‘আবদুর রহমান ইবনু খালিদ (রহ.) ইবনু ‘আখী যুহরী (রহ.) ও মা‘মার (রহ.).....যুহরী (রহ.) থেকে ইবরাহীম ইবনু সা‘দ (রহ.) এর অনুসরণে বর্ণনা করেছেন। [৬৭৯০, ৬৭৯১; মুসলিম ২৯/১, হাঃ ১৬৮৪, আহমাদ ২৪৭৭৯]

ہم سے عبداللہ بن مسلمہ نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے ابراہیم بن سعد نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابن شہاب نے بیان کیا، ان سے عمرہ نے بیان کیا اور ان سے ام المؤمنین عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”چوتھائی دینار یا اس سے زیادہ پر ہاتھ کاٹ لیا جائے گا۔“ اس روایت کی متابعت عبدالرحمٰن بن خالد زہری کے بھتیجے اور معمر نے زہری کے واسطہ سے کی۔

telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Maslamah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibrahim bin Sa'd] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari ['Amrah] dari ['Aisyah] mengatakan; Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam bersabda; "Tangan pencuri dipotong jika senilai seperempat dinar keatas." Hadits ini diperkuat oleh [Abdurrahman bin Khalid] dan [Ibnu Akhi Az Zuhri] dan [Ma'mar] dari [Az Zuhri]

Aişe r.anha'nın nakline göre Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem "Hırsızın eli çeyrek dinar ve daha fazlasını çaldığı zaman kesilir" buyurmuştur

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that the hand of a thief should be cut off for stealing a quarter of a dinar of gold, or any amount greater than that, which is equivalent to the value of 1.06 grams of gold.

What it teaches

  • Theft is of the major sins.
  • Allah Almighty has determined the thief's punishment, which is cutting off his hand, as He says: {As for the thief, male or female, amputate their hands.} [Surat al-Mā’idah: 38] The Sunnah has clarified the conditions of such amputation.
  • The word "hand" in the Hadīth refers to cutting off the palm from the joint between it and the forearm.
  • One of the rationales behind cutting off a thief's hand is to protect people's property and deter other transgressors.
  • A dinar is a Mithqāl (unit of weight) of gold, currently equivalent to 4.25 grams of 24-karat gold; thus, a quarter of a dinar is equal to a little over a gram.
