في الرجل يسرق من بيت المال، ما عليه؟
A man who steals from the public treasury: what is due from him?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30468 — A man who steals from the public
٣٠٤٦٨ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا وكيع عن المسعودي عن القاسم أن رجلًا سرق من بيت المال، فكتب فيه سعد إلى عمر، فكتب عمر إلى سعد: ليس عليه قطع، له فيه نصيب (١).
It is narrated from al-Qasim that he said: A man stole from the public treasury (bayt al-mal), so Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about this. Sayyiduna Umar wrote back to Sayyiduna Sa'd: The punishment of cutting off the hand is not to be applied to him, because he too has a share in the public treasury.
