5109 - وَ رَوَى يُونُسُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ سَرَقَ مِنَ اَلْمَغْنَمِ اَلشَّيْءَ اَلَّذِي يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ اَلْقَطْعُ قَالَ "يُنْظَرُ كَمِ اَلَّذِي يُصِيبُهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ اَلَّذِي أَخَذَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ نَصِيبِهِ عُزِّرَ وَ دُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ تَمَامُ مَالِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَخَذَ مِثْلَ اَلَّذِي لَهُ فَلاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَخَذَ فَضْلاً بِقَدْرِ ثَمَنِ مِجَنٍّ وَ هُوَ رُبُعُ دِينَارٍ قُطِعَ".
Hadith.5109 - Yunus narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan from Abu Abdullah 
who said:
I asked Imam about a man who stole from the war spoils an amount that would normally require his hand to be cut off.
Imam said: "It should be examined how much his rightful share is. If what he took was less than his portion, he is to be disciplined (ta'zir) and given the remainder of his share.
If he took exactly what was due to him, then there is nothing upon him.
But if he took more than his share equal to the value of a shield, which is a quarter of a dinar, then his hand is to be cut off."
