Chapter: Cutting off the hand of a grave-robber.

باب فِي قَطْعِ النَّبَّاشِ

English narration

Narrated by أبو ذر الغفاري

Narrated Abu Dharr: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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.

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 .
