سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْمٍ اصْطَحَبُوا فِي سَفَرٍ رُفَقَاءَ فَسَرَقَ بَعْضُهُمْ مَتَاعَ بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا خَائِنٌ لَا يُقْطَعُ وَ لَكِنْ يُتْبَعُ بِسَرِقَتِهِ وَ خِيَانَتِهِ قِيلَ لَهُ فَإِنْ سَرَقَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِ أَبِيهِ فَقَالَ لَا يُقْطَعُ لِأَنَّ ابْنَ الرَّجُلِ لَا يُحْجَبُ عَنِ الدُّخُولِ إِلَى مَنْزِلِ أَبِيهِ هَذَا خَائِنٌ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِنْ سَرَقَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِ أَخِيهِ وَ أُخْتِهِ إِذَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِمْ لَا يَحْجُبَانِهِ عَنِ الدُّخُولِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about a group of people who accompany each other on a journey of friends, so one of them steals the belongings of the other. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This is treachery, he would not be cut, but he would be followed due to his theft and his treachery’. It was said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘So if one steals from the house of his own father?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would not be cut, because a son of the man is not barred from entering the house of his father. This is treachery, and similar to that is the one who steals from the house of his brother, and his sister, when he enters (their house), as he is not barred from the entering’.
