(7) باب لَعْنِ السَّارِقِ إِذَا لَمْ يُسَمَّ
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah curses a man who steals an egg and gets his hand cut off, or steals a rope and gets his hands cut off." Al-A`mash said, "People used to interpret the Baida as an iron helmet, and they used to think that the rope may cost a few dirhams." (ES)
