"A hand is cut off if he steals (anything) that costs one-fourth of a dinar and over. May God curse the thief. If he steals an egg, his hand must be cut off, or if he steals a rope, his hand must be cut off" (refer to Sahih of the Bukhari, part 8, pp. 199-201).
"A man stole the gown of Safwan while he was in the mosque. Safwan, who was one of Muhammad%u2019s famous companions, arrested him and brought him to Muhammad.

I give it to him free.%u2019 Muhammad said to him, %u2018That would only have been possible before you brought him to me.%u2019 Muhammad ordered his hand to be cut off immediately" (refer to ibn Timiyya, volume 28, page 311; ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, part 5, page 51 of Zad of the Ma%u2019ad).
