قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أنبأ حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ التُّجِيبِيُّ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ أَيُّوبُ بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ نَبَّاشِي الْقُبُورِ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ: " لَعَمْرِي لَيُحْسَبُ سَارِقُ الْأَمْوَاتِ أَنْ يُعَاقَبَ بِمَا يُعَاقَبُ بِهِ سَارِقُ الْأَحْيَاءِ ".
Harmalah bin Imran al-Tujibi (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Ayyub bin Shurahbil (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote [a letter] to Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him), asking him about those who rob graves. Umar (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote to him: By my life! The one who steals from the dead is deemed to deserve the same punishment as the one who steals from the living.
