Chapter: Regarding Punishing The One Who Commits Ghulul.

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.

Salih bin Muhammad said “We went out on an expedition with Al Walid bin Hisham and Salim bin Abd Allaah bin ‘Umat and Umar bin Abd Al Aziz were with us. A man had been dishonest about booty. Al Walid ordered to burn his property and it was circulated (among the people). He did not give him his share. Abu Dawud said “This is sounder of the two traditions. Others narrated that Al Walid bin Hashim burnt the Camel saddle of Ziyad bin Saad “He had been dishonest about booty and he beat him. ”

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr and Umar burned the belongings of anyone who had been dishonest about booty and beat him. Abu Dawud said: Ali bin Bahr added on the authority of al-Walid, and I did not hear (a tradition) from him: And they denied him his share. " Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by al-Walid bin Utbah from Abd al-Wahhab bin Najdah; They said: This has been transmitted by al-Walid, from Zuhair bin Muhammad, from Amr bin Shuaib. Abd al-Wahhab bin Najdah al-Huti did not mention the words "He denied him his share" (as narrated by Ali bin Bahr from al-Walid).
