165 - Muhammad ibn Abi Harun and Muhammad ibn Ja'far informed me that Abu al-Harith narrated to them, saying: I asked Abu Abd Allah about fighting thieves, and he said: "Whoever is killed defending his wealth is a martyr." I said: "Should I fight him and strike him?" He replied: "If you know that he intends to take your wealth, then fight him." He added: "If a man fights in defense of his wealth and kills, injures, or disables them, I hope that he will incur no sin, for he has been granted permission to fight."
١٦٥ - أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي هَارُونَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا الْحَارِثَ حَدَّثَهُمْ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ قِتَالِ اللُّصُوصِ، فَقَالَ: " مَنْ قُتِلَ دُونَ مَالِهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ، قُلْتُ: أُقَاتِلُهُ وَأَضْرِبُهُ، قَالَ: إِذَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ مَالَكَ فَقَاتِلْهُ، وَقَالَ: إِذَا قَاتَلَ الرَّجُلُ دُونَ مَالِهِ فَقَتَلَ أَوْ جَرَحَ أَوْ أَثْخَنَ فِيهِمْ، أَرْجُو لَا يُحَرَّجَ، وَذَاكَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أُذِنَ لَهُ فِي الْقِتَالِ "
