لَا يُقْطَعُ يَدُ السَّارِقِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ سَرِقَتُهُ رُبُعَ دِينَارٍ وَ قَدْ قَطَعَ عَلِيٌّ ( صلوات الله عليه ) فِي بَيْضَةِ حَدِيدٍ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَ قَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ أَدْنَى مَا يُقْطَعُ فِيهِ السَّارِقُ فَقَالَ فِي بَيْضَةِ حَدِيدٍ قُلْتُ وَ كَمْ ثَمَنُهَا قَالَ رُبُعُ دِينَارٍ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> has said: ‘The hand of the thief must not be cut until his theft reaches a quarter of a Dinar; and Ali<sup>asws</sup> had cut regarding an iron helment (Bayza)’. Ali (Bin Abu Hamza) said, and Abu Baseer said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the lower of what regards to which the thief’s (hand) is cut, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘An iron helmet (Bayza)’. I said, ‘And how much is its price?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A quarter of a Dinar’.
