Malik related to me from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, cut off the hand of a man who stole a shield whose price was three dirhams.

حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَطَعَ فِي مِجَنٍّ ثَمَنُهُ ثَلاَثَةُ دَرَاهِمَ ‏.‏

"A thief's hand should not be cut off except for a quarter of a Dinar or more." Agreed upon and the wording is from Muslim. The version of Al-Bukhari reads, 'The hand of a thief is to be cut off for a quarter of a Dinar or more."

"تُقْطَعُ اَلْيَدُ فِي رُبُعِ دِينَارٍ فَصَاعِدًا "
