Be honest and do not steal from others

This hadith is about a man who stole a shield during the time of Abu Bakr, which was valued at five Dirhams. As punishment for this crime, his hand was cut off. This hadith serves as an example of how seriously theft is taken in Islam and how it should be punished accordingly. It also shows that justice must be served no matter who commits the crime, even if it is someone close to you or someone powerful. The punishment for stealing in Islam is severe and this hadith serves as an example of that severity. It also teaches us to be honest and not to steal from others because we will face consequences if we do so.
