Hadith.4086 - The Prophet (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) borrowed seventy coats of mail made of iron from Safwan ibn Umayyah al-Jumahi before he embraced Islam. Safwan asked: "O Abu al-Qasim, is this a seizure or a loan?" The Prophet (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) replied: "No, it is a loan to be returned." Thus, it became a precedent that a loan (ariyyah) must be returned if stipulated. After Safwan embraced Islam, he was once sleeping in the mosque when his cloak was stolen. Safwan pursued the thief, retrieved the cloak, and brought him to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family). He also presented two just witnesses against the thief. The Prophet (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) ordered that the thief's right hand be cut off. Safwan said: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), will you cut off his hand because of my cloak? I have already gifted it to him." The Prophet (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) said: "Why did you not say this before bringing the matter to me?" The sentence was then carried out, establishing the precedent that if a case reaches the Imam and evidence is presented, the prescribed punishment (hadd) cannot be waived.
