Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ قَالَ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ قَالَ ثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ خَلَفٍ قِيلَ لَهُ هَلَكَ مَنْ لَمْ يُهَاجِرْ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَا أَصِلُ إِلَى أَهْلِي حَتَّى آتِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَكِبْتُ رَاحِلَتِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زَعَمُوا أَنَّهُ هَلَكَ مَنْ لَمْ يُهَاجِرْ قَالَ كَلَّا أَبَا وَهْ
بٍ فَارْجِعْ إِلَى أَبَاطِحِ مَكَّةَ قَالَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا رَاقِدٌ جَاءَ السَّارِقُ فَأَخَذَ ثَوْبِي مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِي فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ هَذَا سَرَقَ ثَوْبِي فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ هَذَا أَرَدْتُ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ هَلَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ

صفوان بن عبد الله
English Translation
It was narrated from Safwan ibn Umayya (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "While I was sleeping, a thief came and took my garment from under my head. I caught him and brought him to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'This man stole my garment.' He ordered that his hand be cut. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, that was not what I intended — it is a gift to him.' He said: 'Why did you not do that before bringing him to me?'"
