A man from Mazina asked the Prophet ﷺ about fruit, and he said, "Whatever is taken while still in its blossom and carried away, the offender must pay its price along with the same amount again. As for what comes from the drying-place, the hand is to be cut off if the value reaches the price of a shield. If a person eats from it but does not carry any away, there is nothing upon him."The man asked, "Messenger of Allah, what about a sheep stolen from the pasture?"He replied, "Its price along with the same amount again, plus a deterrent punishment. As for what is taken from the enclosure, the hand is to be cut off if what is taken reaches the price of a shield."
حدثنا علي بن محمد حدثنا أبو أسامة عن الوليد بن كثير
أن رجلا من مزينة سأل النبي ﷺ عن الثمار فقال ما أخذ في أكمامه فاحتمل فثمنه ومثله معه وما كان من الجرين ففيه القطع إذا بلغ ثمن المجن وإن أكل ولم يأخذ فليس عليه قال الشاة الحريسة منهن يا رسول الله قال ثمنها ومثله معه والنكال وما كان في المراح ففيه القطع إذا كان ما يأخذ من ذلك ثمن المجن
