Urdu Translation

جابر بن عبداللہ رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ ایک چور رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پاس لایا گیا، آپ نے فرمایا: ”اسے مار ڈالو“، لوگوں نے کہا: اس نے صرف چوری کی ہے؟ اللہ کے رسول! آپ نے فرمایا: ” ( اس کا دایاں ہاتھ ) کاٹ دو“، تو کاٹ دیا گیا، پھر وہ دوسری بار لایا گیا تو آپ نے فرمایا: ”اسے مار ڈالو“، لوگوں نے کہا: اللہ کے رسول! اس نے صرف چوری کی ہے؟ آپ نے فرمایا: ” ( اس کا بایاں پاؤں ) کاٹ دو“، چنانچہ کاٹ دیا گیا، پھر وہ تیسری بار لایا گیا تو آپ نے فرمایا: ”اسے مار ڈالو“، لوگوں نے کہا: اللہ کے رسول! اس نے صرف چوری کی ہے، آپ نے فرمایا: ” ( اس کا دایاں پاؤں ) کاٹ دو“، پھر وہ چوتھی بار لایا گیا۔ آپ نے فرمایا: ”اسے مار ڈالو“، لوگوں نے کہا: اللہ کے رسول! اس نے صرف چوری کی ہے، آپ نے فرمایا: ” ( اس کا بایاں پاؤں ) کاٹ دو“، وہ پھر پانچویں بار لایا گیا تو آپ نے فرمایا: ”اسے مار ڈالو“، جابر رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں: تو ہم اسے «مربد نعم» ( جانور باندھنے کی جگہ ) کی جانب لے کر چلے اور اسے لادا، تو وہ چت ہو کر لیٹ گیا پھر وہ اپنے ہاتھوں اور پاؤں کے بل بھاگا تو اونٹ بدک گئے، لوگوں نے اسے دوبارہ لادا اس نے پھر ایسا ہی کیا پھر تیسری بار لادا پھر ہم نے اسے پتھر مارے اور اسے قتل کر دیا، اور ایک کنویں میں ڈال دیا پھر اوپر سے اس پر پتھر مارے۔ ابوعبدالرحمٰن کہتے ہیں: یہ حدیث منکر ہے، مصعب بن ثابت حدیث میں زیادہ قوی نہیں ہیں ۱؎۔

English Translation

It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: A thief was brought to the Messenger of Allah and he said: 'Kill him.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, he only stole.' He said: 'Cut off (his hand).' So his hand was cut off. Then he was brought a second time and he said: 'Kill him.' They said; 'O Messenger of Allah, he only stole.' He said: 'Cut off (his foot).' So his foot was cut off. He was brought to him a third time and he said: 'Kill him.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, he only stole. He said: 'Cut off (his other hand).' Then he was brought to him a fourth time and he said: Kill him.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, he only stole.' He said: 'Cut off (his other foot).' He was brought to him a fifth time and he said: So we took him to an animal pen and attacked him. He lay down on his back then waved his arms and legs (in the air), and the camels ran away. Then they attacked him a second time and he did the same thing, then they attacked him a third time, and we threw stones at him and killed him, then we threw him into a well and threw stones on top of him. (Hasan) Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai) said: This Hadith is Munkar, Musab bin Thabit is not strong in Hadith.
