سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَا يَزْنِي الزَّانِي حِينَ يَزْنِي وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يَسْرِقُ السَّارِقُ حِينَ يَسْرِقُ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يَنْهَبُ نُهْبَةً ذَاتَ شَرَفٍ حِينَ يَنْهَبُهَا وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ قَالَ ابْنُ سِنَانٍ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْجَارُودِ وَ مَا نُهْبَةٌ ذَاتُ شَرَفٍ قَالَ نَحْوُ مَا صَنَعَ حَاتِمٌ حِينَ قَالَ مَنْ أَخَذَ شَيْئاً فَهُوَ لَهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abu Al Jaroud who said, ‘I heard Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘An adulterer would not commit adultery while he is a Believer, when he does commit adultery (he losses his faith at that very point),; and a thief does not steal when he does steal while he is a Believer; and a plunderer does not plunder with honour when he plunders it while he is a Believer’. Ibn Sinan said, ‘I said to Abu Al-Jaroud, ‘And what is plundering with honour?’ He said, ‘Approximately what Hatim did when he said that anyone who takes something so it is for him’.
