Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from as-Sa'ib ibnYazid that Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Hadrami brought a slave of his toUmar ibn al-Khattab and said to him, "Cut off the hand of this slaveof mine. He has stolen." Umar said to him, "What did he steal?" Hesaid, "He stole a mirror belonging to my wife. Its value was sixtydirhams." Umar said, "Let him go. His hand is not to be cut off. He isyour servant who has stolen your belongings."
