" من أصاب بفمه من ذي حاجة غير متخذ خبئة فلا شيء عليه ومن خرج بشيء منه فعليه غرامة مثليه والعقوبة ومن سرق منه شيئا بعد أن يؤويه الجرين فبلغ ثمن المجن فعليه القطع ومن سرق دون ذلك فعليه غرامة مثليه والعقوبة "
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Whoever out of need eats something with his mouth and does not carry any away hidden, there is nothing upon him; whoever carries some of it away with him owes a fine of twice its value and a punishment; whoever steals some of it after it has reached the drying place for fruit, and it reaches the value of a shield, his hand is to be cut off; and whoever steals less than that owes a fine of twice its value and a punishment."
