## Hadith #4409

**Book:** Prescribed Punishments (Kitab Al-Hudud) | **Narrator(s):** Abdur Rahman bin Mhyryz عبد الرحمن بن محيريز الجمحي, Fadala bin 'Ubaid bin Naqid, Hajjaj bin Muhammad al-Musaysi حجاج بن محمد المصيصي الأعور, Makhul al-Shami/al-Damashiqi مكحول الشامي, Qutayba bin Sa'id bin Jamil قتيبة بن سعيد بن جميل, Umar bin 'Ali bin Ata'a bin Maqaddam عمر بن علي بن عطاء بن مقدم | **Grade:** Sahih

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: O AbuDharr: I replied: At your service and at your pleasure, Messenger of Allah! He said: how will you do when death smites people, and a house, meaning a grave, will cost as much as a slave. I said: Allah and His Apostle know best, or he said: What Allah and His Apostle choose for me. He said: Show endurance, or he said: You may show endurance.
Abu Dawud said: Hammad b. Abi Sulaiman said: The hand of one who rifles a grave should be cut off because he had entered the deceased’s house.
