Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said that Abu Bakr (RA) ibn Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm informed him that he had taken a Nabatean who had stolen some iron rings and jailed him in order to cut off his hand. Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman sent a girl mawla to him called Umayya. Abu Bakr (RA) said that she had come to him while he was among the people and said that his aunt Amra sent word to him saying, "Son of my brother! You have taken a Nabatean for something insignificant which was mentioned to me. Do you want to cut off his hand?" He had said, "Yes." She said, Amra says to you not to cut off the hand except for a quarter of a dinar and upwards." Abu Bakr (RA) added, "So I let the Nabatean go."
