Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 35:293

Ibn ‘Uyaynah narrated to us, from ‘Amr, from Tawus, who said: It was said to Safwan ibn Umayyah while he was in the upper part of Makkah, "There is no religion for one who does not migrate." He said, "By Allah, I will not reach my family until I come to al-Madinah." So he came to al-Madinah and stayed with al-‘Abbas. He lay down in the mosque with his cloak under his head. A thief came and stole it from under his head. He was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said, "This is a thief." He ordered that he be punished, so his hand was cut off. He (Safwan) said, "It is for him (as a gift)." He (the Prophet) said, "Why not before you brought him to me?" And it was mentioned that Abu Hanifah said: If he gifts it to him, the prescribed punishment (hadd) is averted from him.
