Ibn Ubayd bin al-Abras said: I witnessed Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in al-Rahabah while he was distributing the khumus (one-fifth of the spoils) among the people. A man from Hadramawt stole an iron helmet from the goods, and he was brought to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: His hand will not be cut off; he is a betrayer of trust, and he has a share (in it).
