hadith 327

Hadith.3541 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Salih, from Abu Abdullah (as). He said

I asked him about a man who found a stolen animal that belonged to his neighbor, so he took it to return it to him, but the animal died. Imam (as) said: "There is nothing (no liability) upon him."

3541 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَصَابَ دَابَّةً قَدْ سُرِقَتْ مِنْ جَارٍ لَهُ فَأَخَذَهَا لِيَأْتِيَهُ بِهَا فَنَفَقَتْ قَالَ "لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ".

hadith 328

Hadith.3542 - Ali ibn Ri'ab narrated from Abu Ubaydah, from Abu Abdullah (as). Imam (as) said

"Indeed, if a slave escapes from his masters and then steals, his hand is not cut off while he is a fugitive, because he is like one who has apostatized from Islam. However, he is invited to return to his masters and re-enter Islam. If he refuses to return to his masters, his hand is cut off for the theft, and then he is executed. And the apostate, if he steals, is treated in the same manner."

3542 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ

"إِنَّ اَلْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَبَقَ مِنْ مَوَالِيهِ ثُمَّ سَرَقَ لَمْ يُقْطَعْ وَ هُوَ آبِقٌ لِأَنَّهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلْمُرْتَدِّ عَنِ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ لَكِنْ يُدْعَى إِلَى اَلرُّجُوعِ إِلَى مَوَالِيهِ وَ اَلدُّخُولِ فِي اَلْإِسْلاَمِ فَإِنْ أَبَى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى مَوَالِيهِ قُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ بِالسَّرِقَةِ ثُمَّ قُتِلَ وَ اَلْمُرْتَدُّ إِذَا سَرَقَ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ".
