وَعَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا تُقْطَعُ الْأَيْدِي فِي الْغَزْوِ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالدَّارِمِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ إِلَّا أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا: «فِي السّفر» بدل «الْغَزْو»
Busr b. Artat told that he heard God’s Messenger say, "Hands are not to be cut off during a warlike expedition.” Tirmidhi, Darimi, Abu Dawud and Nasa’i transmitted it, but the last two have "journey” in place of "warlike expedition.”
