133. hadíth

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: "أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أُتِيَ بِالْكُوفَةِ بِرَجُلٍ سَرَقَ حَمَاماً فَلَمْ يَقْطَعْهُ وَ قَالَ "لاَ أَقْطَعُ فِي اَلطَّيْرِ" ".

In the narration of Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s), it is reported: "Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) was presented in Kufa with a man who had stolen a pigeon, but he did not cut off his hand and said: 'I do not cut off (a hand) for stealing birds.'"
