Sunan Abi Dawud 2713 (Book 15, Hadith 237) #23003
Punishment for Dishonesty and Handling of Qur'an

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the punishment for someone who is dishonest about booty and how to handle a copy of the Qur'an found in their property.

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: Salih ibn Muhammad ibn Za'idah (AbuDawud said: This Salih is AbuWaqid) said: We entered the Byzantine territory with Maslamah. A man who had been dishonest about booty was brought. He (Maslamah) asked Salim about him. He said: I heard my father narrating from Umar ibn al-Khattab from the Prophet . He said: When you find a man who has been dishonest about booty, burn his property, and beat him. He beat him. He said: We found in his property a copy of the Qur'an. He again asked Salim about it. He said: Sell it and give its price in charity.
