أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَسْبَاطٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ابْنِ أُخْتِ صَفْوَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى خَمِيصَةٍ لِي ثَمَنُهَا ثَلَاثُونَ دِرْهَمًا،‏‏‏‏ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَاخْتَلَسَهَا مِنِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُخِذَ الرَّجُلُ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ لِيُقْطَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَقْطَعُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْهَمًا أَنَا أَبِيعُهُ وَأُنْسِئُهُ ثَمَنَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَهَلَّا كَانَ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ ؟

I was sleeping in the Masjid on a Khmaishah of mine that was worth thirty dirhams, and a man came and stole it from me. The man was caught and taken to the Prophet ﷺ, who ordered that his hand be cut off. I came to him and said: Will you cut off his hand for the sake of only thirty Dirhams? I will sell it to him on credit. He said: Why did you not say this before you brought him to me?
