Chapter 40 · Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud)فِي قَطْعِ النَّبَّاشِ
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ، عَنِ الْمُشَعَّثِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ، فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَصَابَ النَّاسَ مَوْتٌ يَكُونُ الْبَيْتُ فِيهِ بِالْوَصِيفِ يَعْنِي الْقَبْرَ ؟ قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، أَوْ مَا خَارَ لِي اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، قَالَ: عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّبْرِ، أَوْ قَالَ: تَصْبِرُ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: قَالَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ يُقْطَعُ النَّبَّاشُ: لِأَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ بَيْتَهُ.

Cutting off the hand of a grave-robber
The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to me: O Abu Dharr: I replied: At your service and at your pleasure, Messenger of Allah! He said: how will you do when death smites people, and a house, meaning a grave, will cost as much as a slave. I said: Allah and His Messenger know best, or he said: What Allah and His Messenger choose for me. He said: Show endurance, or he said: You may show endurance. Abu Dawud said: Hammad bin Abi Sulaiman said: The hand of one who rifles a grave should be cut off because he had entered the deceased's house.
