سَأَلْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا ( عليهما السلام ) عَنْ شِرَاءِ الْخِيَانَةِ وَ السَّرِقَةِ فَقَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدِ اخْتَلَطَ مَعَهُ غَيْرُهُ فَأَمَّا السَّرِقَةُ بِعَيْنِهَا فَلَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْ مَتَاعِ السُّلْطَانِ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked one of the two (5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>) about buying the (goods of) betrayal and the stolen (goods). So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, except if there happens to have mixed up something else along with it. So as for the stolen (goods) exactly, so no, except if there happens to be goods of the Sultan (ruling authority), so there is no problem with it’.
