Chapter 15: Cutting off the hand for a loan if he denies borrowing it
باب فِي الْقَطْعِ فِي الْعَارِيَةِ إِذَا جُحِدَتْ
Sunan Abi Dawud 4396
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin
A woman borrowed jewellery through some known persons and she herself was unknown. She then sold them. She was seized and brought to the Prophet (ﷺ). He gave orders that her hand should be cut off. It is this woman about whom Usamah interceded and of her the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said whatever he said.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ كَانَ عُرْوَةُ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها قَالَتِ اسْتَعَارَتِ امْرَأَةٌ - تَعْنِي - حُلِيًّا عَلَى أَلْسِنَةِ أُنَاسٍ يُعْرَفُونَ وَلاَ تُعْرَفُ هِيَ فَبَاعَتْهُ فَأُخِذَتْ فَأُتِيَ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِ يَدِهَا وَهِيَ الَّتِي شَفَعَ فِيهَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَقَالَ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا قَالَ .
