Then he stole again, and his foot was cut off. Then he stole at the time of Abu Bakr, untilo all his extremities had been cut off. Then he stole a fifth time, and Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of Allah knew better about him when he said: 'Kill him.' Then he handed him over to some young men of Quraish to kill him, among whom was 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair who liked to be in a position of leadership. He said: Put me in charge of them, so they put him in charge of them and when he struck him, they would strike him, until they killed him.

:Telah mengkhabarkan kepada kami Al Hasan bin Isma'il bin Sulaiman dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Abdah bin Sulaiman dari Al A'masy dari Abu Ishaq dari Hubairah bin Yarim dia berkata; Abdullah bin Mas'ud berkata; berdasarkan bacaan siapakah kalian memerintahkanku membaca?
