أُخِذَ نَبَّاشٌ فِي زَمَنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ مَا تَرَوْنَ فَقَالُوا تُعَاقِبُهُ وَ تُخَلِّي سَبِيلَهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مَا هَكَذَا فَعَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ وَ مَا فَعَلَ قَالَ فَقَالَ يُقْطَعُ النَّبَّاشُ وَ قَالَ هُوَ سَارِقٌ وَ هَتَّاكٌ لِلْمَوْتَى .
Translation
From him, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed Al Attar, from Sayyar, from Zayd Al Shahaam, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A grave robber was seized in the era of Muawiya, so he said to his companions, ‘What are your views?’ So they said, ‘Punish him and free his way’. So a man from the people said, ‘This is not what Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Abu Talib<sup>asws</sup> did’. He (Muawiya) said, ‘So what did he<sup>asws</sup> do?’ So he said, ‘He cut (the hand) of the grave robber and said, ‘He is a thief, and a desecrator of the dead’.
