سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَسْرِقُ فَتُقْطَعُ يَدُهُ بِإِقَامَةِ الْبَيِّنَةِ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يَرُدَّ مَا سَرَقَ كَيْفَ يُصْنَعُ بِهِ فِي مَالِ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي سَرَقَ مِنْهُ أَ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ رَدُّهُ وَ إِنِ ادَّعَى أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ قَلِيلٌ وَ لَا كَثِيرٌ وَ عُلِمَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ قَالَ يُسْتَسْعَى حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَ آخِرَ دِرْهَمٍ سَرَقَهُ.

Ali, from his father, from Salih Bin Saeed, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5 th or 6 th Imam asws ), said, ‘I asked him asws about a man who stole, so his hand was cut by the establishment of the proof against him, but he did not return what he had stolen. So how should one deal with the property of the man whom it had been stolen from, or is there not the returning upon him? And if he were to claim that there is nothing in his possession anymore, neither less nor more, and that is known to be from him?’ He asws said: ‘He would be made to work until he pays back the last Dirham he had stolen’.
