Be honest and truthful; Respect ownership rights; Do justice no matter how small or big an offence may be; Do not take things which do not belong to you without permission from their rightful owners

This hadith is about the punishment for theft in Islam. According to this hadith, narrated by Abdullah bin Umar, the Prophet cut off the hand of a thief who stole a shield that was worth three dirhams. This shows that theft is not tolerated in Islam and there are severe punishments for it. It also teaches us to be honest and truthful and not to take things which do not belong to us without permission from their rightful owners. Furthermore, it teaches us that justice should be served no matter how small or big an offence may be.
