"عَنْ أَبِى عُبَيْدِ بْنِ الأَحْوَصِ (*) قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ عَلِيّا وَهُوَ يُقَسِّمُ خُمْسًا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَسَرقَ رَجُلٌ مِن حَضْرَمَوْت مِغْفَرَ حَدِيدٍ مِنَ الْمَتَاعِ، فَأُتَى بِه عَلِىٌّ فَقَالَ: لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ قَطْعٌ، ألَا هُوَ خَائِنٌ وَلَهُ نَصيِبٌ".

[Machine] "And Abu Hazim informed us, who informed us from Abu Al-Fadl, who informed us from Ahmad, who informed us from Sa'id, who narrated from Abu Al-Ahwas, who narrated from SImak bin Harb, who narrated from Ibn 'Ubayd bin Al-Abras, who said: I witnessed Ali in Al-Rahba while he was distributing one-fifth among the people. A man from Hadramawt stole a piece of iron from the goods. Ali was brought to him, and he said: There is no cutting punishment on him, he is a traitor and he has a share. Ath-Thawri narrated it from SImak from Yazid bin Dithar bin 'Ubayd bin Al-Abras, who said: Ali was brought to a man, and he mentioned him."
