(Book 41, Hadith 24) #36606
Punishment for Theft

SUMMARY: A thief's hand is cut off for stealing a quarter of a dinar or more.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "It has not been a long time for me and I have not forgotten. A thief's hand is cut off for a quarter of a dinar and upwards".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ مَا طَالَ عَلَىَّ وَمَا نَسِيتُ ‏ "‏ الْقَطْعُ فِي رُبُعِ دِينَارٍ فَصَاعِدًا
