Hadith 148
۞
Hadith.5116 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Al-Hasan ibn Ribat from Ibn Muskan from Al-Halabi from Abu Abdullah (as) who said
"When the legal punishment is carried out on a thief, he is to be exiled to another town. If a man steals and is not caught until he steals again and is then apprehended, and evidence is brought against him, with witnesses testifying to both the first and the most recent theft, his hand is to be cut off for the first theft, but his foot is not to be cut off for the second theft.
This is because the witnesses testified to both thefts at the same time before his hand was cut off for the first theft.
However, if the witnesses had testified regarding the first theft and his hand was cut off, and then later testified about the second theft, his left foot would be cut off."

"إِذَا أُقِيمَ عَلَى اَلسَّارِقِ اَلْحَدُّ نُفِيَ إِلَى بَلْدَةٍ أُخْرَى وَ إِنْ سَرَقَ رَجُلٌ فَلَمْ يُقْدَرْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى سَرَقَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَأُخِذَ فَجَاءَتِ اَلْبَيِّنَةُ فَشَهِدُوا عَلَيْهِ بِالسَّرِقَةِ اَلْأُولَى وَ اَلْأَخِيرَةِ فَإِنَّهُ تُقْطَعُ يَدُهُ بِالسَّرِقَةِ اَلْأُولَى وَ لاَ تُقْطَعُ رِجْلُهُ بِالسَّرِقَةِ اَلْأَخِيرَةِ لِأَنَّ اَلشُّهُودَ شَهِدُوا عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعاً فِي مَقَامٍ وَاحِدٍ بِالسَّرِقَةِ اَلْأُولَى وَ اَلْأَخِيرَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُقْطَعَ يَدُهُ بِالسَّرِقَةِ اَلْأُولَى وَ لَوْ أَنَّ اَلشُّهُودَ شَهِدُوا عَلَيْهِ بِالسَّرِقَةِ اَلْأُولَى فَقُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ ثُمَّ شَهِدُوا عَلَيْهِ بَعْدُ بِالسَّرِقَةِ اَلْأَخِيرَةِ قُطِعَتْ رِجْلُهُ اَلْيُسْرَى".
