Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ ثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِى ابْنَ قَرْمٍ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ ابْنِ أُخْتِ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى خَمِيصَةٍ لِي فَسُرِقَتْ فَأَخَذْنَا السَّارِقَ فَرَفَعْنَاهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفِي خَمِيصَتِي ثَمَنُ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْهَمًا أَنَا أَهَبُهَا لَهُ أَوَ أَبِيعُهَا لَهُ قَالَ فَهَلَّا كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ.
English Translation
Husayn ibn Muhammad narrated to us, Sulayman, meaning Ibn Qarm, narrated to us, from Simak, from Humayd, the nephew of Safwan ibn Umayyah, from Safwan ibn Umayyah, who said: I was sleeping in the mosque on a fine garment of mine, and it was stolen. We caught the thief and brought him to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who ordered his hand be cut. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, for a garment worth thirty dirhams? I will give it to him or sell it to him." He said: "If only this had been before you brought him to me."
