Hadith 147
۞
Hadith.5115 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Ri'ab from Zurarah from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) regarding a man who stole, and his right hand was cut off. Then he stole again, and his left foot was cut off. Then he stole a third time.
Imam (as) said
"Commander of the Faithful (as) would imprison him for life and would say, 'I feel ashamed before my Lord (azj) to leave him without a hand to clean himself with and without a foot to walk with to fulfill his needs.'"
Imam Al-Baqir (as) added: "When Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) would cut off the hand, he would cut it below the wrist joint, and when he would cut off the foot, he would cut it from the ankle."
Imam Al-Baqir (as) also stated: "Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) did not believe that any of the prescribed punishments should be pardoned."
5115 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
فِي رَجُلٍ سَرَقَ فَقُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ اَلْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ سَرَقَ فَقُطِعَتْ رِجْلَهُ اَلْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ سَرَقَ اَلثَّالِثَةَ قَالَ "كَانَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يُخَلِّدُهُ فِي اَلسِّجْنِ وَ يَقُولُ "إِنِّي لَأَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ رَبِّي أَنْ أَدَعَهُ بِلاَ يَدٍ يَسْتَنْظِفُ بِهَا وَ لاَ رِجْلٍ يَمْشِي بِهَا إِلَى حَاجَتِهِ" " قَالَ "وَ كَانَ إِذَا قَطَعَ اَلْيَدَ قَطَعَهَا دُونَ اَلْمَفْصِلِ وَ إِذَا قَطَعَ اَلرِّجْلَ قَطَعَهَا مِنَ اَلْكَعْبِ " قَالَ "وَ كَانَ لاَ يَرَى أَنْ يُعْفَى، عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنَ اَلْحُدُودِ".
