Allah be pleased with them. The seven jurists, Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, al-Awza'i, al-Shafi'i, and Ibn al-Mundhir all held this view based on the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "There is no cutting (17) except for a quarter of a dinar or more." Uthman al-Batti said: The hand is cut (18) for a dirham or more. From Abu Hurayrah and Abu Sa'id, it is reported that the hand is cut for four dirhams or more (19). From Umar, it is reported that the hand is not cut except for five (20). This is the opinion of Sulayman ibn Yasar, Ibn Abi Layla, and Ibn Shubruma. This is also narrated from al-Hasan. Anas said: Abu Bakr cut the hand for a shield (mijan) valued at five dirhams. Al-Jawzajani recorded this with his chain of narration. Ata, Abu Hanifa, and his companions said: The hand is not cut except for a dinar or ten dirhams, based on what Hajjaj ibn Artah narrated from Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), that he said: "There is no cutting (17) except for ten dirhams" (21). Ibn Abbas also reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) cut the hand of a man for a shield valued at a dinar or ten dirhams (22). Regarding al-Nakha'i, it is reported: The hand is not cut except for forty dirhams. Our argument is what Ibn Umar narrated, that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) cut the hand for a shield worth three dirhams. This is agreed upon (23). Ibn Abd al-Barr said: This is the most authentic hadith narrated on this subject, and there is no disagreement among the people of knowledge regarding it.
