Allah anasema, {Na mwizi, mwanamume au mwanamke, mkate mikono yao; ni malipo kwa waliyoyafanya na adhabu itokayo kwa Allah. Na Allah ni Mwenye nguvu, Mwenye hekima.} (5:38)

Allah says, {As to the thief, male or female, cut off his or her hand: retribution for their deed and exemplary punishment from Allah, and Allah is exalted in power, full of Wisdom.} (5:38)

Ibn Shihab alisema, "Allah humuadhibu kwa ukali mtu yeyote anayeiba mali ya watu kwa kumkata mkono wake. Naye ni Mwenye nguvu za kulipiza kisasi, Mwenye hekima kamili katika kutoa adhabu aliyoiweka kwa wezi."

Ibn Shihab commented, 'I Allah severely punished whosoever steals people's property by cutting off his / her hand. And He is Almighty in retribution and full of wisdom in dispensing the penalty he has prescribed for thieves.

Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Mzinzi anapofanya zinaa, basi wakati anapofanya hivyo si mwumini. Na mtu anapokunywa kileo, basi wakati anapokinywa si mwumini. Na mwizi anapoiba, basi wakati anapoiba si mwumini. Mlango wa toba kwa kawaida huwa wazi."

The Prophet said, "When an adulterer commits illegal sexual intercourse, then he is not a believer at the time he is doing it, and when somebody drinks an alcoholic drink, then he is not a believer at the time of drinking it, and when a thief steals, he is not a believer at the time he is stealing. The door of repentance is usually open ".

Ibn 'Umar alisimulia: "Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alikata mkono wa mwizi kwa kuiba ngao iliyokuwa na thamani ya dirhamu tatu."1

Ibn 'Umar narrated, I' Allah's apostle cut off the hand of a thief for stealing a shield that was worth three dirhams.”1

ʿAishah (radhiyallahu ʿanha) alisimulia, "Mkono hukatwa kwa kuiba kitu chenye thamani ya robo dinari au zaidi."2

'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated, "The hand should be cut off for stealing something that is worth a quarter of a dinar or more.”2

Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Mkono wa mwizi haukukatwa isipokuwa kwa kuiba kitu chenye thamani sawa na ngao." Ikaulizwa: "Ngao ina thamani gani?" Aisha akajibu: "Robo dinari."3

The Prophet said, "The hand of a thief was not cut off except for stealing something equal to a shield in value.” It was said, “ `Aishah: How much is shield worth?' She answered: "A quarter of a Dinar.”3

Kulingana na riwaya ya Aisha, Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Kata (mikono na miguu) kwa kuiba kile kinachofikia thamani ya robo dinari, lakini si chini ya hapo."

According toariothernarration the Prophet said, "Cut off (hands and feet) for stealing what is worth a quarter of a Dinar, but not less".

Robo ya dinari wakati huo ilikuwa na thamani ya "Dirham" tatu. Abu Hurairah alisimulia kutoka kwa Mtume ﷺ kwamba alisema: "Mwenyezi Mungu amlaani mwizi anayeiba "Baidhah" (au kofia ya chuma) ambayo kwa ajili yake mkono wake utakatwa, au anayeiba kamba ambayo kwa ajili yake mkono wake utakatwa."4

A quarter of a dinar, by then, was worth three "Dirhams." Abu Hurairah narrated the Prophet as saying, "Allah curses the thief who steals a "Baidhah" (or a helmet) for which his hand is to be cut off, or steals a rope for which his hand is to be cut off.”4

Ai-'Amash alisema, "Watu walikuwa wakitafsiri "Baidhah" kama kofia ya chuma, nao walikuwa wakifikiri kwamba kamba inaweza kugharimu dirham chache."

Ai-' Amash commented, "People used to interpret "Baidhah" as an iron helmet, and they used to think that the rope may cost a few dirhams.

`Aishah alinukuu, "Mwanamke mmoja kutoka Bani Makhzum alikuwa akiazima vitu na hakuvirudisha kamwe. Kwa sababu hiyo, Mtume ﷺ alitoa amri mkono wake ukatwe."1

`Aishah quoted, "A woman from Banu Makhzum used to borrow things and never give them back. Consequently, the Prophet passed an order to get her hand cut off.”1

Watu wa yule mwanamke walimwendea Usama bin Zaid ili amwombee shafaa kwa Mtume amsamehe. Usama alipozungumza na Mtume wa Allah kuhusu jambo hilo, Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Je, unaniombea shafaa ili nivunje mojawapo ya adhabu zilizowekwa na Allah?" Kisha akasimama na kuwahutubia watu, akisema: "Enyi watu! Mataifa yaliyokuwa kabla yenu yalipotea kwa sababu, mtu mwenye heshima akiiba, walimwacha; lakini mtu dhaifu miongoni mwao akiiba, walimtekelezea adhabu. Naapa kwa Allah, kama Fatimah, binti ya Muhammad ﷺ, angeiba, Muhammad ﷺ angekata mkono wake!"

"The woman's people ~ame to Usama Ibn Zaid to intercede with the Prophet that he may pardon her. When Usamah spoke to Allah's apostle about that matter, Allah's apostle said, "Do you intercede (with me) to violate one of the legal penalties of Allah?" Then he got up and addressed the people, saying, "0 people! The nations before you went astray because if a noble person committed theft, they used to leave him, but if a weak person among them committed theft; they used to inflict the legal penalties on him. By Allah, if Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad committed theft, Muhammad would have cut off her hand!” 2

Abdul-Rahman Ibn Muhayriz alimuuliza Fudhalah Ibn Ubaid kama kuning'iniza mkono uliokatwa wa mwizi shingoni mwake ni katika Sunnah ya Nabii ﷺ. Akasema:

Abdul-Rahman Ibn Muhayriz asked Fudhalah Ibn Ubaid whether hanging the thiefs amputated hand to his neck is of the tradition of the Prophet. He said.

Mwizi mmoja aliletwa mbele ya Mtume ﷺ, naye akatoa amri akatiwe mkono wake na kufungwa shingoni mwake.3

"A thief was summoned before the Prophet who gave an order to cut off his hand and tie it to his neck.”3

Wanafiqhi Waislamu walikuwa na mtazamo kwamba toba ya mwizi haisihi isipokuwa amerudisha alichoiba. Iwapo hana uwezo wa kulipa, anapaswa kumwomba msamaha mmiliki halisi wa kitu kilichoibiwa.

The Muslim Jurists viewed that a thiefs’ repentance is not valid unless he gives back what he has robbed. In case he is bankrupt, he should ask the real owner of the stolen thing to pardon him.
