  لَمْ تُقْطَعْ يَدُ سَارِقٍ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَمَنِ الْمِجَنِّ حَجَفَةٍ أَوْ تُرْسٍ وَكِلاَهُمَا ذُو ثَمَنٍ‏.‏
  During the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) the hand of a thief was not cut off for less than the price of a shield, skin-shield or scutum, and both of them are valuable.
