Chapter on the Legal Punishment for Theft

152. hadíth

وَ رُوِيَ: "أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَطَعَ نَبَّاشَ اَلْقَبْرِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَ تَقْطَعُ فِي اَلْمَوْتَى فَقَالَ "إِنَّا لَنَقْطَعُ لِأَمْوَاتِنَا كَمَا نَقْطَعُ لِأَحْيَائِنَا" ".

It has been narrated that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) ordered the hand of a grave robber to be cut off. Imam (a.s) was asked: "Do you cut off (the hand) for stealing from the dead?" Imam (a.s) replied: "We cut for our dead just as we cut for our living."
