Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خَمِيرَوَيْهِ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا هُشَيْمٌ ثنا مُغِيرَةُ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ عَلَى مَنْ سَرَقَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَالِ قَطْعٌ
English Translation
Discussion of the conditions that must be met before the hadd for theft is applied. The stolen item must have been taken from a secure location (hirz), it must meet the minimum value (nisab) of a quarter dinar or three dirhams, and the thief must not have a legitimate claim to the property. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The hand is cut for a quarter dinar and above."
