Sunan an-Nasai 4953 (Book 46, Hadith 83) #19485
Punishment for Theft

SUMMARY: Theft is a serious crime and the least amount for which a thief's hand should be cut off is the price of a shield.

It was narrated that 'Ata' said: "The least for which the hand of a thief is to be cut off is the price of a shield. And the price of a shield in those days was ten Dirhams". (Hasan) Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai) said: Ayman, the one whose narrations preceded, I do not think he was a Companion, and another Hadith has been related from him which proves what we have said:
أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَبِيبٍ - عَنِ الْعَرْزَمِيِّ، - وَهُوَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ - عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ أَدْنَى مَا يُقْطَعُ فِيهِ ثَمَنُ الْمِجَنِّ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَثَمَنُ الْمِجَنِّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَشْرَةُ دَرَاهِمَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَأَيْمَنُ الَّذِي تَقَدَّمَ ذِكْرُنَا لِحَدِيثِهِ مَا أَحْسَبُ أَنَّ لَهُ صُحْبَةً وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ حَدِيثٌ آخَرُ يَدُلُّ عَلَى مَا قُلْنَاهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the punishment for theft in Islam. It was narrated by 'Ata' that the least amount for which a thief's hand should be cut off is the price of a shield, which was ten Dirhams in those days. Abu 'Abdur-Rahman An-Nasai also mentioned another hadith from Ayman, whose narrations preceded, to prove this point further. This hadith shows that theft is considered to be an extremely serious crime in Islam and it has severe consequences if committed. The punishment serves as an effective deterrent against stealing from others or taking what does not belong to one without permission or consent of its rightful owner. It also teaches us to respect other people's property and not take advantage of them by stealing their belongings or money without their knowledge or consent.
