Saad confiscates from a boy cutting trees
[AI] Saad rode to his palace at al-Aqiq and found a boy striking the trees or cutting them, so he confiscated his belongings. When Saad returned, the boy's family came to him and spoke to him, asking him to return what he had taken from their boy. He said, "God forbid that I should return something that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted me." And he refused to return it to them.
أَنَّ سَعْدًا رَكِبَ إِلَى قَصْرِهِ بِالْعَقِيقِ، فَوَجَدَ غُلامًا يَخْبِطُ شَجَرًا أَوْ يَقْطَعُهُ، فَسَلَبَهُ. فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ سَعْدٌ، جَاءَهُ أَهْلُ الْغُلامِ فَكَلَّمُوهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ مَا أَخَذَ مِنْ غُلامِهِمْ، فَقَالَ: مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ أَرُدَّ شَيْئًا نَفَّلَنِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ. وَأَبَى أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ.
