Narrated Ubada bin As-Samit: I gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) with a group of people, and he said, “I take your pledge
that you will not worship anything besides Allah, will not steal, will not commit infanticide, will not
slander others by forging false statements and spreading it, and will not disobey me in anything good.
And whoever among you fulfill all these (obligations of the pledge), his reward is with Allah. And
whoever commits any of the above crimes and receives his legal punishment in this world, that will be
his expiation and purification. But if Allah screens his sin, it will be up to Allah, Who will either
punish or forgive him according to His wish.” Abu `Abdullah said: “If a thief repents after his hand
has been cut off, the his witness well be accepted. Similarly, if any person upon whom any legal
punishment has been inflicted, repents, his witness will be accepted.”

Narrated Anas: Some people from the tribe of `Ukl came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and embraced Islam. The climate of Medina
did not suit them, so the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered them to go to the (herd of milch) camels of charity and to
drink, their milk and urine (as a medicine). They did so, and after they had recovered from their
ailment (became healthy) they turned renegades (reverted from Islam) and killed the shepherd of the
camels and took the camels away. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent (some people) in their pursuit and so they were
(caught and) brought, and the Prophets ordered that their hands and legs should be cut off and that
their eyes should be branded with heated pieces of iron, and that their cut hands and legs should not be
cauterized, till they die.

Narrated `Aisha: Usama approached the Prophet (ﷺ) on behalf of a woman (who had committed theft). The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
“The people before you were destroyed because they used to inflict the legal punishments on the poor
and forgive the rich. By Him in Whose Hand my soul is! If Fatima (the daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) did
that (i.e. stole), I would cut off her hand.”

Narrated Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) cut off the hands and feet of the men belonging to the tribe of `Uraina and did not

at the time he is doing it; and when somebody drinks an alcoholic drink, then he is not believer at the
time of drinking, and when a thief steals, he is not a believer at the time when he is stealing; and when
a robber robs and the people look at him, then he is not a believer at the time of doing it.” Abu Huraira
in another narration, narrated the same from the Prophet (ﷺ) with the exclusion of robbery.

one of them who beat him with shoes.
