It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Ayez that a thief with an amputed hand and a foot was brought to Umar. He ordered them to cut off his foot. Ali (a.s.) said: Allah, the Mighty and Sublime says:
"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement,” (Surah Maidah 5:33)
Now his one hand and one foot was amputed, so it is not proper that his another foot, with which he moved about, should also be amputed and that he should be left without any foot. Instead, he should be lashed or imprisoned. So, he was made a prisoner.
(Kanzul Ummaal, 3:118 [5/553, H. 13928])
