Muwatta Malik 1536

اردو

ابو بکر بن محمد عمر بن حزم نے ایک نبطی (نبط کا رہنے والا) کو پکڑا جس نے انگوٹھیاں لوہے کی چرائی تھیں اور اس کو قید کیا ہاتھ کا ٹنے کے واسطے عمرہ بنت عبدالرحمن نے اپنی مولاۃ(آزاد لونڈی) کو جس کا نام امیہ تھا ابوبکر کے پاس بھیجا ابوبکر نے کہا وہ مولاۃ میرے پاس چلی آئی اور میں لوگوں میں بٹیھا ہوا تھا، بولی تمہاری خالہ عمرہ نے کہا ہے کہ اے میرے بھانجے تو نے ایک نبطی کو پکڑا ہے تھوڑی چیز کے واسطے اور چاہتا ہے اس کا ہاتھ کاٹنا میں نے کہا ہاں! اس نے کہا عمرہ نے کہا ہے کہ قطع نہیں ہے مگر ربع دینار کی مالیت میں یا زیادہ میں تو میں نے نبطی کو چھوڑ دیا ۔ کہا مالک نے غلام اگر ایسے قصور کا اقرار کرے جس میں اس کے بدن کا نقصان ہو تو درست ہے اس کو تہمت نہ لگائیں گے اس بات کی کہ اس نے مولیٰ کے ضرر کے واسطے جھوٹا اقرار کرلیا۔ کہا مالک نے اگر ایسے قصور کا اقرار کرے جس کا تاوان مولیٰ کو دینار پڑے تو اس کا اقرار صحیح نہ سمجھا جائے گا۔ کہا مالک نے اگر مزدور یا اور کوئی شخص لوگوں میں رہتا ہو اور آتا ہو پھر وہ ان کی کوئی چیز چرائے تو اس پر قطع نہیں ہے کیونکہ وہ مثل خائن کے ہوا اور خائن پر قطع نہیں ہے۔ کہا مالک نے جو شخص کوئی چیز بطور عاریتا کے لے پھر مکر جائے تو اس پر قطع نہیں ہے اس کی مثال ایسی ہے کہ کسی کا قرض کسی پر ہو اور وہ مکر جائے تو قطع نہیں ہے۔ کہا مالک نے ہمارے نزدیک یہ حکم اتفاقی ہے کہ اچک لینے میں قطع نہیں ہے اگرچہ اس شئے کی قیمت ربع دینار یا زیادہ ہو۔

Translation

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said that Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm informed him that he had taken a Nabatean who had stolen some iron rings and jailed him in order to cut off his hand. Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman sent a girl mawla to him called Umayya. Abu Bakr said that she had come to him while he was among the people and said that his aunt Amra sent word to him saying, "Son of my brother! You have taken a Nabatean for something insignificant which was mentioned to me. Do you want to cut off his hand?" He had said, "Yes." She said, ''Amra says to you not to cut off the hand except for a quarter of a dinar and upwards." Abu Bakr added, "So I let the Nabatean go." Malik said, "The generally agreed on way of doing things among us about the confession of slaves is that if a slave confesses something against himself, the hadd and punishment for it is inflicted on his body. His confession is accepted from him and one does not suspect that he would inflict something on himself." Malik said, "As for the one of them who confesses to a matter which will incur damages agains this master, his confession is not accepted against his master." Malik said, "One does not cut off the hand of a hireling or a man who is with some people to serve them, if he robs them, because his state is not the state of a thief. His state is the state of a treacherous one. The treacherous one does not have his hand cut off." Malik said about a person who borrows something and then denies it, "His hand is not cut off. He is like a man who owes a debt to another man and denies it. He does not have his hand cut off for what he has denied." Malik said, "The generally agreed-on way of dealing among us, with the thief who is found in a house and has gathered up goods and has not taken them out, is that his hand is not cut off. That is like the man who places wine before him to drink it and does not do it. The hadd is not imposed on him. That is like a man who sits with a woman and desires to have haram intercourse with her and does not do it and he does not reach her. There is no hadd against that either." Malik said, "The generally agreed-on way of doing things among us is that there is no cutting off the hand for what is taken by chance, openly and in haste, whether or not its price reaches that for which the hand is cut off
