Hadith record

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah asws about a man who pierced a hole in a house (to steal), but he was seized before he could arrive to anything. He asws said: ‘He would be punished. So if he was seized and he had extracted goods (from the house), so upon him would be the cutting (of the hand)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him asws about a man who was seized and he was carrying a bundle of clothes, and said that the owner of the house had given these to him’. He asws said: ‘The cutting would be staved off from him except if the proof is established upon him. So if the proof is established upon him, his (hand) would be cut’. He asws said: ‘The hand and the leg would be cut, then no other (parts) of his be cut afterwards, but if he were to repeat, he would be imprisoned and would be expended upon from the public treasury of the Muslims’.
