Hazrat Hisham narrates that a case was brought before Hazrat Adi in which a man had snatched something. Hazrat Iyas said: The punishment of cutting the hand will be carried out on him, and Hasan Basri said: The punishment of cutting the hand will not be carried out on him. So Hazrat Adi wrote a letter to Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz regarding this matter, and he replied: The punishment of cutting the hand will not be carried out on him because the Arabs used to call this "theft of the day."
