Sunan an-Nasai 4933 (Book 46, Hadith 64) #19466
Stealing and Punishment According to Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that the hand of a thief should not be cut off unless they have stolen an amount equivalent to one-quarter of a Dinar.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The hand (of the thief) is not to be cut off except for one-quarter of a Dinar"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ تُقْطَعُ الْيَدُ إِلاَّ فِي رُبُعِ دِينَارٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that stealing is wrong and there are consequences for it according to Islamic teachings. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said that the hand of a thief should not be cut off unless they have stolen an amount equivalent to one-quarter of a Dinar. This shows us that Islam does not condone stealing but also does not want people to suffer unnecessarily if they do steal something small. It is important for us as Muslims to remember this teaching and strive towards being honest in our dealings with others.
