56. Theft
٥٦۔ كِتَابُ السَّرِقَةِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: O AbuDharr: I replied: At your service and at your pleasure, Messenger of Allah! He said: how will you do when death smites people, and a house, meaning a grave, will cost as much as a slave. I said: Allah and His Apostle know best, or he said: What Allah and His Apostle choose for me. He said: Show endurance, or he said: You may show endurance. Abu Dawud said: Hammad b. Abi Sulaiman said: The hand of one who rifles a grave should be cut off because he had entered the deceased's house. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4409)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَصَابَ النَّاسَ مَوْتٌ يَكُونُ الْبَيْتُ فِيهِ بِالْوَصِيفِ؟ يَعْنِي الْقَبْرَ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ أَوْ مَا خَارَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّبْرِ
عَنِ الْحَسَنِ مِثْلَهُ
[Machine] He said, "It is cut in our dead as it is cut in our living."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ يُقْطَعُ فِي أَمْوَاتِنَا كَمَا يُقْطَعُ فِي أَحْيَائِنَا
[Machine] From the grave digger's news, Umar wrote to him, "By my life, it is thought that the thief of the dead will be punished as the thief of the living is punished."
عَنْ نَبَّاشِي الْقُبُورِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ لَعَمْرِي لَيُحْسَبُ سَارِقُ الْأَمْوَاتِ أَنْ يُعَاقَبَ بِمَا يُعَاقَبُ بِهِ سَارِقُ الْأَحْيَاءِ
[Machine] "And 'Abbad ibn Al-Awwam said: We used to accuse him of lying, referring to Suhail ibn Dhakwan, the father of Al-Sindi, from Mecca."
وَقَالَ عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ كُنَّا نَتَّهِمُهُ بِالْكَذِبِ يَعْنِي سُهَيْلًا وَهُوَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ ذَكْوَانَ أَبُو السِّنْدِيِّ الْمَكِّيُّ
[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ cursed the one who conceals and the one who is concealed. This is a hadith."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَعَنَ الْمُخْتَفِيَ وَالْمُخْتَفِيَةَ هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed the one who conceals (the truth) and the one who is concealed, and likewise.
رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لُعِنَ الْمُخْتَفِي وَالْمُخْتَفِيَةُ وَكَذَلِكَ
