Hadith 3688
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood
ENGLISH
It was narrated that Abu Majid said:
A man came to Ibn Masood with a nephew of his and said: This is the son of my brother; he drank alcohol. ‘Abdullah said: The first hadd punishment to be carried out in Islam was a woman who stole, and her hand was cut off. The face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) changed a great deal (i.e., in disapproval), then he said: “Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful" (an-Noor 24:22).
