From him, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed Al Attar, from Sayyar, from Zayd Al Shahaam, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: ‘A grave robber was seized in the era of Muawiya, so he said to his companions, ‘What are your views?’ So they said, ‘Punish him and free his way’. So a man from the people said, ‘This is not what Ali asws Bin Abu Talib asws did’. He (Muawiya) said, ‘So what did he asws do?’ So he said, ‘He cut (the hand) of the grave robber and said, ‘He is a thief, and a desecrator of the dead’.
