SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4360		Narrated Muhammad Bin Seereen: Abu Huraira said; Allah Messenger ﷺ put me in charge of the Zakat of Ramadan i.e. Zakat AlFitr. Someone came to me and started scooping some of the foodstuff of Zakat with both hands. I caught him and told him that I would take him to Allah Messenger ﷺ. Then Abu Huraira told the whole narration and added He i.e. the thief said; Whenever you go to your bed; recite the Verse of AlKursi 2.255 for then a guardian from Allah will be guarding you; and Satan will not approach you till dawn. On that the Prophet ﷺ said; He told you the truth; though he is a liar; and he the thief himself was the Satan.

All the praises are for you. I will give alms again. And so he again went out with his alms and unknowingly gave it to an adulteress. Next morning the people said that he had given his alms to an adulteress last night. The man said; O Allah! All the praises are for you. I gave my alms to an adulteress. I will give alms again.

SahihMuslim-017-001-21998		Abu Huraira reported Allah Apostle ﷺ as saying: A man expressed his intention to give charity; so he came out with charity and placed it in the hand of an adulteress. In the morning; the people were talking and saying: charity was given to an adulteress last night. He the giver of Sadaqa said: 0 Allah; to Thee be the praise-to an adulteress. He then again expressed his intention to give charity; so he went out with the charity and placed it in the hand of a rich person. In the morning the people were talking and saying: Charity was given to a rich person. He the giver of charity said: 0 Allah; to Thee be the praise-to a well-to-do person. He then expressed his intention to give charity; so he went out with charity and placed it in the hand of a thief. In the morning; the people were talking and saying: Charity was given to a thief. So one of the persons said: 0 Allah; to Thee be the praise what a misfortune it is that charity has been given to the adulteress; to a rich person. to a thief! There came the angel to him and he was told: Your charity has been accepted. As for the adulteress the charity might become the means whereby she might restrain herself from fornication. The rich man might perhaps learn a lesson and spend from what Allah has given him; and the thief might thereby refrain from committing theft.

Then Marwan wrote saying that to me Usaid. I wrote to Marwan saying that the Prophet had ruled that if the one who bought it from the one who stole it is ot guilty of anything and did not realize that it was stolen goods ; then the owner has the choice: If he wishes; he may buy it from the one who bought it from the thief; or if he wishes he may go after the thief. Abu Bakr; Umar and Uthman also passed judgment along these lines. Marwan sent my letter to Muawiyah; and Muawiyah wrote to Marwan saying : Neither you nor Usaid are in a position to tell me what to do; rather I am the one who tells you what to do because I am superior in rank to you; so do what I tell you. Marwan sent the letter of Muawiyah to me; and I said: I will not judge according to Muawiyah opinion as long as I am the governor.

SunanAlNasai-017-001-15470		It was narrated that Abdullah Bin Amr said: The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed and stood for a long time; then he bowed for a long time; then he stood up and remained standing for a long time. One of the narrators Shubh said: I think he said something similar concerning prostration.- He started weeping and blowing during his prostration and said: Lord; You did not tell me that You would do that while I am asking You for forgiveness; You did not tell me that You would do that while I was still among them. When he finished praying he said: Paradise was shown to me; and if I had stretched forth my hand I could have taken some of its fruits. And Hell was shown to me; so I started blowing for fear that its heat might overwhelm you. I saw therein the thief who stole the two camels of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; and I saw therein the brother of Banu As-Dudu; the thief who stole from the pilgrims; and when he was caught he said: The crooked stick did it; and I saw therein a tall black woman who was being punished because of a cat she tied up and did not feed or give it water; and she did not let it eat of the vermin of the earth; until it died. Then sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone; but they are two of the signs of Allah. If one of them becomes eclipsed- or he said: if one of them does anything like that- then hasten to remember Allah; the Mighty and Sublime.

In Muwata Malik

Hadith Page	Arabic Text	English Translation	Book and Chapter
MuwataMalik-017-001-34793		Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah Ibn Abi Bakr Ibn Hazim that Amra bint Abdulrahman said; Aisha; the wife of the Prophet; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; went out to Makka and she had two girl mawlas of hers and a slave belonging to the sons of Abdullah Ibn Abi Bakr AlSiddiq. She sent a figured cloak with the two mawlas which was sewn up in a piece of green cloth. Amra continued; The slave took it and unstitched it and took out the cloak. In its place; he put some felt or skin and sewed it up again. When the mawla girls came to Madina; they gave it to his people. When they opened it; they found felt in it and did not find the cloak. They spoke to the two women and they spoke to Aisha; the wife of the Prophet; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; or they wrote to her and suspected the slave. The slave was asked about it and confessed. Aisha; the wife of the Prophet; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; gave the order and his hand was cut off. Aisha said; A thief hand is cut off for a quarter of a dinar and upwards. Malik said; The limit I prefer above which cutting off the hand is obliged is three dirhams; whether the exchange is high or low. That is because the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; cut off the hand of a thief for a shield whose value was three dirhams; and Uthman Ibn Affan cut off the hand of a thief for a citron which was estimated at three dirhams. This is what I prefer of what I have heard on the matter.	The Chapter on Peace And Charity in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Sadaqa in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-34796		Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Safwan Ibn Abdullah Ibn Safwan that it was said to Safwan Ibn Umaya; Whoever does not do hijra is ruined. So Safwan Ibn Umaya went to Madina and slept in the Masjid with his cloak as a pillow. A thief came and took his cloak and Safwan grabbed hold of the thief and brought him to the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; said to him; Did you steal this cloak? He said; Yes. So the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; ordered that his hand be cut off. Safwan said to him; I did not intend this. It is his as sadaqa. The Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; said; Why didnt you do it before bringing him to me?

MuwataMalik-017-001-35184		Yahya related to me from Malik that the best of what he had heard about a man who is forced by necessity to eat carrion is that he ate it until he was full and then he took provision from it. If he found something which would enable him to dispense with it; he threw it away. Malik when asked whether or not a man who had been forced by necessity to eat carrion; should eat it when he also found the fruit; crops or sheep of a people in that place; answered; If he thinks that the owners of the fruit; crops; or sheep will believe his necessity so that he will not be deemed a thief and have his hand cut off; then I think that he should eat from whatever he finds that which will remove his hunger but he should not carry any of it away. I prefer that he does that than that he eat carrion. If he fears that he will not be believed; and will be deemed a thief for what he has taken; then I think that it is better for him to eat the carrion; and he has leeway to eat carrion in this respect. Even so; I fear that someone who is not forced by necessity to eat carrion might exceed the limits out of a desire to consume other peoples property; crops or fruit. Malik said; That is the best of what I have heard.	The Chapter on Live Stock Milk And Graze in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Marriage in Muwata Malik
