Malik related to me from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father fromYahya ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Hatib that some slaves of Hatib stole ashe-camel belonging to a man from the Muzayna tribe and theyslaughtered it. The case was brought before Umar ibn al-Khattab, andUmar ordered Kathir ibn as-Salt to cut off their hands. Then Umar saidto Habib, "I think you must be starving them," and he added, "ByAllah! I will make you pay such a fine that it will be heavy for you."He enquired of the man from the Muzayna tribe, "What was the price ofyour camel?" The Muzayni said, "By Allah, I refused to sell her for400 dirhams.'' Umar said, ''Give him 800 dirhams." Yahya saidthat he heard Malik say, "Doubling the price is not the behaviour ofour community. What people have settled on among us is that the man isobliged to pay the value of the camel or animal on the day he tookit." Translation Not Available
