(1a) Chapter: Maiming for Theft - Section 1
(1) باب قطع السرقة - الفصل الأول
Mishkat al-Masabih 3592
Abu Huraira reported the Prophet as saying, “God curse a thief who steals an egg and has his hand cut off, and steals a rope and has his hand cut off!”*
(Bukhari and Muslim.)
*It has been suggested that baida (egg or steel helmet) should have the latter meaning and that a ship’s rope should be understood, but the translation above is usually accepted as the meaning.
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ السارِقَ يسرقُ البيضةَ فتُقطعُ يَده وَيسْرق الْحَبل فتقطع يَده»
