Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: Salih ibn Muhammad ibn Zaidah (Abu Dawud said: This Salih is Abu Waqid) said: We entered the Byzantine territory with Maslamah. A man who had been dishonest about booty was brought. He (Maslamah) asked Salim about him. He said: I heard my father narrating from Umar ibn al-Khattab from the Prophet ﷺ. He said: When you find a man who has been dishonest about booty, burn his property, and beat him. He beat him. He said: We found in his property a copy of the Quran. He again asked Salim about it. He said: Sell it and give its price in charity.
