مَنْ أَخَذَ سَارِقاً فَعَفَا عَنْهُ فَذَاكَ لَهُ فَإِنْ رُفِعَ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ قَطَعَهُ فَإِنْ قَالَ الَّذِي سُرِقَ مِنْهُ أَنَا أَهَبُ لَهُ لَمْ يَدَعْهُ الْإِمَامُ حَتَّى يَقْطَعَهُ إِذَا رُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ وَ إِنَّمَا الْهِبَةُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ الْحافِظُونَ لِحُدُودِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا انْتَهَى الْحَدُّ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ فَلَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَتْرُكَهُ.

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at Bin Mahran, Abu Abdullah asws has said: ‘The one who seizes a thief, and he excuses him from it, so that is up to him. But, if it is raised to the Imam asws , he asws would cut him. So if the one who had been stolen from were to say, ‘I gift it to you’, the Imam asws would not leave him until he asws cuts him, (after) it is raised to him. But rather, the gifting is before he raises it to the Imam asws , and these are the Words of Allah azwj mighty and Majestic [9:112] and the preservers of the Penalties of Allah . So when the Penalty ( Hadd ) ends up with the Imam asws , so it is not for anyone that he asws should leave him’.
