This hadith is about a slave who stole a small palm from his master's garden and was going to be punished by having his hand cut off. However, the punishment was not carried out as it went against the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The owner of the palm went looking for it and found it in the slave's master's garden. He asked Marwan ibn al-Hakam for help in punishing him but Rafi ibn Khadij intervened and reminded them that according to what he heard from Prophet Muhammad ﷺ no one should have their hands cut off for stealing fruit or palm piths. As such Marwan ordered that the slave be released instead of being punished with cutting off his hand which would have been an unjust punishment according to Islamic law. This hadith teaches us that justice should always prevail over injustice even if someone has committed wrong doing they should still be treated fairly and justly according to Islamic law rather than being subjected to cruel punishments which are not prescribed by Islam itself. It also teaches us mercy towards those who have done wrong as we must remember that Allah is most merciful towards His creation so we too must show mercy when dealing with others even if they have done something wrong or illegal according to our laws or beliefs.
