(3) Chapter: What has been reported concerning Al-Muharibah
18
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ نَحْوَهُ زَادَ ثُمَّ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُثْلَةِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مِنْ خِلاَفٍ . وَرَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ وَسَلاَّمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَنَسٍ لَمْ يَذْكُرَا مِنْ خِلاَفٍ . وَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِي حَدِيثِ أَحَدٍ قَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ مِنْ خِلاَفٍ . إِلاَّ فِي حَدِيثِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ .

A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Anas bin Malik through a different chain of narrators. This version adds:
He then forbade disfiguring. This version does not mention the words " from opposite sides" . This tradition has been narrated by Shu'bah from Qatadah and Salam bin Miskin from Thabit on the authority of Anas. They did not mention the words "from opposite side". I did not find these words "their hands and feet were cut off from opposite sides". In any version except in the version of Hammad bin Salamah.
