حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ الْمِصْرِيِّ، عَنْ شُيَيْمِ بْنِ بَيْتَانَ، عَنْ جُنَادَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لاَ تُقْطَعُ الأَيْدِي فِي الْغَزْوِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَى غَيْرُ ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَ هَذَا ‏.‏ وَيُقَالُ بُسْرُ بْنُ أَبِي أَرْطَاةَ أَيْضًا ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْهُمُ الأَوْزَاعِيُّ لاَ يَرَوْنَ أَنْ يُقَامَ الْحَدُّ فِي الْغَزْوِ بِحَضْرَةِ الْعَدُوِّ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَلْحَقَ مَنْ يُقَامُ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدُّ بِالْعَدُوِّ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ الإِمَامُ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحَرْبِ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى دَارِ الإِسْلاَمِ أَقَامَ الْحَدَّ عَلَى مَنْ أَصَابَهُ ‏.‏ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ الأَوْزَاعِيُّ ‏.‏
