وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ، أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ، قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ مَنْ لَمْ يُهَاجِرْ هَلَكَ . فَقَدِمَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَنَامَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَتَوَسَّدَ رِدَاءَهُ فَجَاءَ سَارِقٌ فَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ فَأَخَذَ صَفْوَانُ السَّارِقَ فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَسَرَقْتَ رِدَاءَ هَذَا " . قَالَ نَعَمْ . فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ تُقْطَعَ يَدُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ صَفْوَانُ إِنِّي لَمْ أُرِدْ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَهَلاَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Safwan ibnAbdullah ibn Safwan that it was said to Safwan ibn Umayya, "Whoeverdoes not do hijra is ruined." So Safwan ibn Umayya went to Madina andslept in the mosque with his cloak as a pillow. A thief came and tookhis cloak and Safwan grabbed hold of the thief and brought him to theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. TheMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said tohim, "Did you steal this cloak?" He said, "Yes." So the Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered that his handbe cut off. Safwan said to him, "I did not intend this. It is his assadaqa." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, said, "Why didn't you do it before bringing him to me?" Translation Not Available
