أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ عَلَى خَائِنٍ وَلَا مُنْتَهِبٍ وَلَا مُخْتَلِسٍ قَطْعٌ». وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ أَيْضًا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ مِنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ

মাহমূদ ইবন গায়লান (রহঃ) ... জাবির (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ আমানতে খিয়ানতকারী, লুণ্ঠনকারী এবং ছোঁ মেরে পলায়নকারী ব্যক্তির প্রতি হাত কাটার শাস্তি আরোপিত হবে না।

Telah mengkhabarkan kepada kami [Mahmud bin Ghailan], dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Daud Al Hafari] dari [Sufyan] dari [Ibnu Juraij] dari [Abu Az Zubair] dari [Jabir], dia berkata; "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Tidak ada pemotongan tangan atas orang yahg berkhianat, merampas dan menggelapkan harta." Ibnu Juraij juga belum mendengar dari Abu Az Zubair

Sunan an-Nasa'i 4972, Book 46, The Book of Cutting off the Hand of the Thief, Hadith 102. 1 min read

What it means

Allah enjoined cutting off a thief's hand as a legal punishment for the crime of theft. However, this punishment is not applicable to other similar crimes, such as embezzlement, extortion, or usurpation. The rationale behind this distinction is that the occurrence of these crimes is rare compared with theft. Also, the condition for cutting off a hand, which is taking an object from its secure place, may be inapplicable to or may differ in these crimes.

Furthermore, in other crimes the object taken could be returned through the ruler (competent authority), because the evidence against the culprit could easily be established. On the other hand, the punishment for theft is grave, because it involves taking something secretly from its secure place.
