[Machine] The boy felt cold, so he took off his clothes and stitched new ones in its place. When the two slave girls arrived in the city, they told his family about it. When they took off his clothes, they found the new ones but couldn't find the old ones. They spoke to the two slave girls, and they spoke to Aisha or wrote to her, and they accused the boy. The boy was questioned about it and admitted to it. Aisha ordered that his hand be cut off and said, "The compensation is a quarter of a dinar, escalating."
