Chapter on the Legal Punishment for Theft
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 12
وَ رُوِيَ: "أَنَّ أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أُتِيَ بِنَبَّاشٍ فَأَخَذَ بِشَعْرِهِ وَ جَلَدَ بِهِ اَلْأَرْضَ ثُمَّ قَالَ "طَئُوا عَلَيْهِ عِبَادَ اَللَّهِ" فَوُطِئَ حَتَّى مَاتَ".
It has been narrated that Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام was presented with a grave robber. Imam عليه السلام grabbed him by his hair, struck him against the ground, and then said: "Step on him, O' servants of Allah سبحانه وتعالى." So, the people trampled him until he died.
