Sunan Abi Dawud 2714 (Book 15, Hadith 238) #23004
Punishment for Dishonesty

SUMMARY: Al Walid bin Hisham punished a man for being dishonest about booty by burning his property and not giving him his share.

Salih bin Muhammad said "We went out on an expedition with Al Walid bin Hisham and Salim bin 'Abd Allaah bin 'Umat and 'Umar bin 'Abd Al Aziz were with us. A man had been dishonest about booty. Al Walid ordered to burn his property and it was circulated (among the people). He did not give him his share. Abu Dawud said "This is sounder of the two traditions. Others narrated that Al Walid bin Hashim burnt the Camel saddle of Ziyad bin Sa’d "He had been dishonest about booty and he beat him".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى الأَنْطَاكِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ وَمَعَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فَغَلَّ رَجُلٌ مَتَاعًا فَأَمَرَ الْوَلِيدُ بِمَتَاعِهِ فَأُحْرِقَ وَطِيفَ بِهِ وَلَمْ يُعْطِهِ سَهْمَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ أَنَّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ حَرَّقَ رَحْلَ زِيَادِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ - وَكَانَ قَدْ غَلَّ - وَضَرَبَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the punishment that was given to a man who was dishonest about booty. The man went on an expedition with Al Walid bin Hisham and Salim bin 'Abd Allaah bin 'Umat and 'Umar bin 'Abd Al Aziz. He was found to be dishonest about the booty so Al Walid ordered to burn his property and not give him his share. This shows that dishonesty is not tolerated in Islam and there are consequences for it. It also teaches us that we should always be honest in our dealings with others as it is one of the most important values in Islam.
