5102 - وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي رَجُلٍ أَتَى رَجُلاً فَقَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي فُلاَنٌ إِلَيْكَ لِتُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا فَأَعْطَاهُ وَ صَدَّقَهُ فَلَقِيَ صَاحِبَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَكَ أَتَانِي فَبَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ مَعَهُ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا فَقَالَ مَا أَرْسَلْتُهُ إِلَيْكَ وَ لاَ أَتَانِي أَحَدٌ بِشَيْءٍ فَزَعَمَ اَلرَّسُولُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَرْسَلَهُ وَ قَدْ دَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ "إِنْ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةً أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُرْسِلْهُ قُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةً فَيَمِينُهُ بِاللَّهِ مَا أَرْسَلَهُ وَ يَسْتَوْفِي اَلْآخَرُ مِنَ اَلرَّسُولِ اَلْمَالَ" قُلْتُ فَإِنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ حَمَلَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ اَلْحَاجَةُ قَالَ "يُقْطَعُ لِأَنَّهُ سَرَقَ مَالَ اَلرَّجُلِ".
Hadith.5102 - Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi from Abu Abdullah 
regarding a man who went to another man and said: "So-and-so sent me to you to collect such-and-such," and the man gave it to him, believing him.
Later, he met the original person and said: "Your messenger came to me, and I sent with him such-and-such," but the man replied:
"I did not send him to you, nor did anyone bring me anything."
The supposed messenger then claimed that he had indeed been sent and had delivered the item to him.
Imam said: "If proof is established against him that he was never sent, his hand is to be cut off. But if there is no proof, the man must swear by Allah (swt) that he did not send him, and the other must recover his money from the messenger."
I asked: "What if he claims that necessity compelled him to do so?"
Imam replied: "His hand is to be cut off because he has stolen the man's wealth."
