وَمَنْ سَرَقَ رُبْعَ دِيْنَارٍ مِنَ اْلعَيْنِ، أَوْ ثَلاَثَةَ دَرَاهِمَ مِنَ اْلوَرِقِ، أَوْ مَا يُسَاوِيْ أَحَدَهُمَا مِنْ سَائِرِ الْمَالِ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ اْلحِرْزِ، قُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ اْليُمْنىٰ مِنْ مِفْصَلِ اْلكَفِّ وَحُسِمَتْ. فَإِنْ عَادَ، قُطِعَتْ رِجْلُهُ اْليُسْرٰى مِنْ مِفْصَلِ اْلكَعْبِ وَحُسِمَتْ. فَإِنْ عَادَ حُبِسَ، وَلاَ يُقْطَعُ غَيْرُ يَدٍ وَرِجْلٍ.
