Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to cut off the hand for stealing a quarter dinar or more.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the hand to be cut off for the theft of a shield, the value of which was three dirhams.

Sayyiduna Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: There is no (punishment of) cutting the hand for the theft of thamar (fruit that is still on the tree) and kathar (the gum of the date-palm tree which resembles fat).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that a man from the tribe of Muzaynah came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and began to ask: O Messenger of Allah! What do you say about the animals grazing on the mountain? (That is, if someone steals from there, what is the ruling?) He replied: He will return an animal for an animal and will also be punished; the hand will not be cut off for stealing grazing animals, except for those animals that are inside an enclosure and their value is equal to the value of a shield, then the hand will be cut off for them. If their value is less than the value of a shield, then double compensation will be taken and as a punishment lashes will be administered. He asked: O Messenger of Allah! What do you say about those fruits that are hanging on the tree? He replied: He will return double the fruit and will also be punished; the hand will not be cut off for stealing fruit, except for those fruits that have been placed in a threshing floor, so whoever steals fruit from the threshing floor and its value is equal to the value of a shield, then the hand will be cut off for them. If its value is less than the value of a shield, then double compensation will be taken and as a punishment lashes will be administered.

**Its chain is weak:** Sunan Abi Dawood: 4394, Sunan an-Nasa'i: 4887, in this there is confusion (ikhtilat) of Simak bin Harb, and there is also criticism regarding Asbat bin Nasr's narration from Simak.
