If anyone steals an item that was not kept in a place of safekeeping—whether fruit, kathr (bundled firewood), or anything else—he must pay double its value, and no amputation is carried out.1
(1) Manuscript “B” omits the words wa-la qatʿ (“and no amputation”).
ومن سرق شيئا من غير حرز ثمرا كان أو كثرا أو غيرهما أضعفت عليه القيمة ولا قطع١.
١سقط من "ب": ولا قطع.
