Hazrat Zuhri narrates that during the caliphate of Hazrat Muawiyah, when Marwan was the governor of Madinah, a grave-cloth thief was caught. Marwan then consulted the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and the jurists present in Madinah regarding this matter. None of them found any precedent of cutting off the hand of a grave-cloth thief, so all of them unanimously agreed that he should be beaten and paraded around.
