And he asws said regarding a man who came to a man, so he said, ‘So and so has sent me to you, to send to him such and such’ So he gave it to him, and regarded him as truthful. So (when) he met his companions, he said to him, ‘Your messenger came to me, so I sent such and such with him, to you’. So he said, ‘I did not sent him to you, and he has not come to me with anything. And the messenger claim that he has sent him, and he had handed over (the items) to him. So he asws said: ‘If proof is found against him that he did not send him, his (messenger’s) hand would be cut, and the meaning of that is he happenned to be the messenger who has accepted once that he (the sender) did not send him; and if proof is not found, so he (the sender) would have to swear by Allah azwj that he did not send him (the messenger), and the other one can retrieve the goods from the messenger’. I said, ‘What is your asws view if he (the messenger) claims that he had carried it away due to the need’. So he asws said: ‘His hand would be cut because he stole the goods of the man’.
