English narration

Narrated by فضالة بن عبيد الأنصاري

Abdur-Rahman bin Muhariz said: We asked Fadalah bin Ubaid about the hanging the (amputated) hand on the neck of a thief whether it was a sunnan. He said: A thief was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his hand was cut off. Thereafter he commanded for it, and it was hung on his neck.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْنَا فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ تَعْلِيقِ الْيَدِ فِي الْعُنُقِ لِلسَّارِقِ أَمِنَ السُّنَّةِ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : "

أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَارِقٍ فَقُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَعُلِّقَتْ فِي عُنُقِهِ
