Think carefully before acting and consider the consequences of your actions before you do them.

This hadith discusses the punishment for stealing. It states that a person's hand should not be cut off if they have stolen something in haste or by chance. This means that if someone steals something without thinking about it or without planning to do so then they will not be punished as severely as someone who has planned to steal something and taken their time doing so. The hadith also teaches us that we should think carefully before we act and consider the consequences of our actions before we do them. We should also remember that even though stealing is wrong, there are still some circumstances where a person may not be punished as severely for their actions.
