Narated By AbuUmayyah al-Makhzumi : A thief who had accepted (having committed theft) was brought to the Prophet (pbuh), but no good were found with him. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh), said to him: I do not think you have stolen. He said: Yes, I have. He repeated it twice or thrice. So he gave orders. His hand was cut off and he was then brought to him. He said: Ask Allah's pardon and turn to Him in repentance. He said: I ask Allah's pardon and turn to Him in repentance. He (the Prophet) then said: O Allah, accept his repentance.
