"A thief was brought before Ameerul-Mumineen Umar Ibn Khattab who ordered that the thief's hands be cut because such is (prescribed in the Sharee'ah). So the thief said, “Wait, O Ameerul-Mu'mineen, By Allah, I did not steal except by Allah’s Will and Decree. The thief was truthful in his statement but before him was Umar ibn Khattab, who said, “We are not cutting your hands except with the Will and Decree of Allah.” Then he ordered the cutting by the Decree of Allah. So Umar used the same argument against him which the thief used as a proof"
