Sunan Abi Dawud 4411 (Book 40, Hadith 61) #24702
Punishment for Theft

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the punishment of a thief, where his hand was cut off and hung on his neck.

'Abd al-Rahman b. Muhariz said: We asked Fadalah b. 'Ubaid about the hanging the (amputated) hand on the neck of a thief whether it was a sunnan. He said: A thief was brought to the Messenger of Allah and his hand was cut off. Thereafter he commanded for it, and it was hung on his neck.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْنَا فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ تَعْلِيقِ الْيَدِ، فِي الْعُنُقِ لِلسَّارِقِ أَمِنَ السُّنَّةِ هُوَ قَالَ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِسَارِقٍ فَقُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ ثُمَّ أُمِرَ بِهَا فَعُلِّقَتْ فِي عُنُقِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the punishment for theft. It narrates that a thief was brought to the Messenger of Allah and his hand was cut off as a penalty. After this, he commanded for it to be hung on the thief's neck as an example to others. This shows that stealing is not tolerated in Islam and there are severe punishments for it. It also teaches us that we should obey orders from our leaders without any hesitation or doubt, as they have been appointed by God himself. Furthermore, it teaches us to respect authority figures such as prophets and messengers who have been sent by God with His message.
