Hadith 3452
وَرُوِيَ فِي «شَرْحِ السُّنَّةِ» : أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَنَامَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَتَوَسَّدَ رِدَاءَهُ فَجَاءَ سَارِقٌ وَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ فَأَخَذَهُ صَفْوَانُ فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ أَنْ تُقْطَعَ يَدُهُ فَقَالَ صَفْوَانُ: إِنِّي لَمْ أُرِدْ هَذَا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَهَلا قبل أَن تَأتِينِي بِهِ»

وَرَوَى نَحْوَهُ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بن صَفْوَان عَن أَبِيه

والدارمي عَن ابْن عَبَّاس
It is transmitted in Sharh as-sunna that Safwan b. Umayya came to Medina and slept in the mosque, using his cloak as a pillow. A thief came and took his cloak and Safwan seized him and brought him to God’s Messenger who ordered that his hand should be cut off. Safwan then said, "This was not my intention. I give it to him as sadaqa.” God’s Messenger replied, "Why did you not do so before bringing him to me?”

Ibn Majah transmitted something similar on the authority of ‘Abdallah b. Safwan who quoted his father’s authority, and Darimi did so also on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas.

وَعَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ عَلَى خَائِنٍ وَلَا مُنْتَهِبٍ وَلَا مُخْتَلِسٍ قَطْعٌ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ والدارمي
He reported the Prophet as saying, “Cutting off the hand is not to be inflicted on one who is treacherous, one who plunders, or one who snatches something.”

Hadith 3453
وَعَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا تُقْطَعُ الْأَيْدِي فِي الْغَزْوِ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالدَّارِمِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ إِلَّا أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا: «فِي السّفر» بدل «الْغَزْو»
Busr b. Artat told that he heard God’s Messenger say, "Hands are not to be cut off during a warlike expedition.”

Tirmidhi, Darimi, Abu Dawud and Nasa’i transmitted it, but the last two have "journey” in place of "warlike expedition.”

Abu Dawud transmitted it.
